Residence Life
From common areas filled with joyful laughter to long nights of studying until dawn to conversations about life, God, and whether a hot dog is a sandwich, residence life fosters a deep sense of community and belonging. As you build lifelong friendships with students who share your faith and values, you’ll find support and encouragement.
At Corban, we’re here for each other in this adventure we call life—in faith, in academics, and in relationships.

Residence Halls
Living on campus helps support your educational, social, and spiritual growth, and our students love the community they find in our residence halls.
Enjoy spacious rooms, common areas with cozy seating, free on-campus laundry, storage areas, and full kitchens. Each residence hall has unique features, but all of them offer a welcoming community and meaningful friendships. They also each have their own events that have become Corban traditions.
Aagard Hall
Aagard residents share a common love for Jesus, spontaneity, and some good old-fashioned fun. Located at the foot of campus, Aagard is beloved for its quiet, peaceful atmosphere…and private bathrooms in each room!
Balyo Hall
Joy is contagious in the Balyo community, where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a cozy fireplace make the second-floor common space a favorite hangout. With three floors and beautiful northwest architecture, Balyo holds the title of newest residence hall on campus.
Davidson Hall
With two floors and two large open common areas, Davidson offers a central campus hub for students looking for fellowship and a welcoming environment. You’ll feel at home in this lodge-style hall overlooking lower campus.
Farrar Hall
This all-male residence hall has traditionally been known for its sense of brotherhood and camaraderie among the men living here. Currently, only the second floor is available on an as-needed basis for student housing.
Prewitt/Van Gilder Hall
Fondly nicknamed “PVG,” this residence hall is known for its massive common area that connects the two sides of the building. PVG is always bustling with activity, fun, and community.
Townhouses
Townhouse living provides an opportunity for students to live more independently, while enjoying close proximity to campus and the Corban community. Located on the corner of Deer Park Drive and Aumsville Highway, the townhouses offer housing for graduate students, married students (and up to two dependents), and undergraduate students who qualify to live off campus.
Residence Hall Staff
Residence staff members are eager to guide, mentor, and empower student voice through student leadership positions and programs designed to equip students to make a difference. Students are free to express themselves and explore their beliefs and viewpoints in a Christian context. We strive to be a loving and gracious community, providing appropriate challenge and support to work through life’s issues.
Each residence hall is part of a specific residential area managed by an Area Coordinator (AC). The ACs oversee the development of events, Bible studies, and other residence life activities in their area. They are also responsible for the supervision and care of their assigned residential area. ACs are professional, live-in staff who are available for guidance, support, and accountability to the students in their residence halls.
Assistant Area Coordinators (AACs) are student and graduate student staff members who provide administrative support for the ACs and work with the RAs.
The Resident Assistants (RAs) are also student staff members who are overseen by the ACs. They are responsible for the spiritual leadership, safety, well-being, and conduct of the students in their assigned sections.
