Welcome to South Apartments

South Apartments are primarily for returning residents, transfer students, and graduate students. South Apartments is home to the Women in Science and Engineering community. South Apartments provide residents with increased privacy and space, while still being close and convenient to classes and campus resources. South Apartments are located in the South Campus Neighborhood near The Blue Connection, Niemeyer Honors College, and the Kirkhof Center. Residents can enjoy the privacy of their own bedroom and additional living space, all while still enjoying the community that South Apartments has built. Outside, there is a volleyball and basketball court, and a large courtyard where you will typically see students hanging out or playing outdoor games.

First Floor Meetings

Meet your fellow residents and your RA at your first floor meeting! The first floor meeting will be the evening of your scheduled move in. See your RA boards in your building for a specific date and time.

meet the staff

Resident Assistants (RAs) are sophomore-level or higher, undergraduate and graduate students who live on-campus. There is at least one RA on every floor of each living center. They contribute to a positive community living experience by serving as a campus resource for first-year students, and by coordinating social and academic activities for residents. RA staff members serve in the HRL duty rotation and are extensively trained in crisis management, facilities management, campus policies/student code of conduct, and student development.

Community Directors (CDs) are professional live-in staff members who assist in the daily operations of residential communities. These operations include administrative duties, managing conduct, supervising an RA staff, and providing support to residential students. CD staff members serve in the HRL duty rotation and have extensive experience in crisis management, facilities management, campus policies/student code of conduct, and student development.

GVSU has been my home since 2020, where I received my bachelors degree and am now pursuing my masters degree. I was an RA in South Apartments for most of my undergrad, and then transitioned into the Community Director role once I began graduate school. While my roots lie on the east side of the state, Allendale now has my heart, especially since stepping into my role in GVSU's Housing and Residence Life department.
