University Village
THE RESIDENCES AT UNIVERSITY VILLAGE IS A LIVING-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT MADE ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS!
We want your college student to be successful throughout his or her career at Florida Gulf Coast University. Students need a good foundation and support to gain this success. At University Village, we want to help support their productivity by giving them a fully equipped computer lab and study lounge at their fingertips. We want to keep them healthy with an on-site 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center. We also want to help them relax and meet their neighbors by providing academic-oriented luxury lounge areas located around the property. University Village will meet all students’ needs in college so they can be successful in an enjoyable atmosphere.
Individual Leases
Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your student’s space, unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of University Village for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover that portion of rent. This is just another reason why University Village is Florida Gulf Coast University’s best residential option for students!
On-site Professional Staff
Affordable Floorplans
University Village offers spacious floorplan options, so students can easily find one to suit their needs. We feature two-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments. Students each have their own bedroom and bathroom. Your student’s rent includes utilities (water, sewer and trash), electricity is covered with a green cap, premium cable, wired and Wi-Fi internet, furniture, access to University Village amenities and so much more!

University Village is a furnished residential community, saving you money! Each student will have a full-sized bed, large desk and chair, nightstand, under bed dresser drawers, full–size closets and private bathroom. The living area includes a comfortable sectional sofa, coffee table, end table and an entertainment stand with TV. The kitchen comes fully equipped with granite countertops and an extended bar area with bar stools provided, stainless steel appliances, full-size refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher and washer & dryer.
Roommate Matching
If your student does not have a roommate in mind, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so that we know their roommate and apartment preferences*. During the summer, we spend weeks reviewing these preferences and matching students up with the best person we can find!
*Apartment preferences do not guarntee a specific unit will be assigned.
Resident Events to Keep Students Involved
While the focus of your student’s college career will be about graduating and landing a fulfilling job, he or she also needs to have fun along the way. At University Village, students will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful. Our dedicated team plans monthly resident events to get students involved. These events range from pizza parties to karaoke nights, from resume-building classes to gaming tournaments. Annually, University Village will have events such as a Welcome Back Party at the beginning of the fall semester, Resident Appreciation Nights at the beginning of the spring semester and a large competition among residents and staff, as well as many holiday events throughout the year. We will also keep our residents connected to events going on at Florida Gulf Coast University, as well as events happening around town so they don’t miss anything! We want your student to succeed, and that’s whom we thought of first while designing University Village as a Living-Learning environment!
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to have an individual lease?
Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for his or her portion of the common areas and one bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back for the spring semester, you’re not responsible for that payment.
What is included in the rent?
University Village’s lease makes life easy.

Do you have a roommate matching system?
Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would like to live with, let us match you up with someone! There is a Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more about what you’re seeking in a roommate and an apartment. Then, we spend weeks in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that information.

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease – one installment, two installments, or twelve installments.
