Student life

GROW ALONGSIDE
OTHERS.

Your week can include meaningful study, time with God, people to grow alongside, and the everyday work of serving others.

Picture your week

A RHYTHM
WITH PURPOSE.

TUESDAY + THURSDAY

Classes, training, chapel, and practicum take place across these two scheduled days at Realife. Use the current timetable to plan travel, work, and study.

WEEKEND SERVICES

You’ll attend a weekend service and participate on ministry teams. Worship and serving are both required parts of the experience, connecting your college journey with the wider Realife community.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Your coursework continues beyond your time at church. Give reading, assignments, and independent study a regular place in your week. When considering a job, account for college responsibilities as well as the hours you’ll spend traveling.

FAITH GROWS
IN COMMUNITY.

College is also about the people you get to know along the way. Weekly chapel creates space to worship and focus on God. Classes, leadership sessions, Small Groups, and ministry participation give you regular opportunities to build relationships with fellow students and Realife leaders.

You’ll share experiences with other people who are discovering their gifts and asking questions about their future. Learning together and serving on a team give those relationships room to grow through everyday participation.

Realife’s young adults community offers another way to build friendships with people in a similar season of life. You don’t have to know everyone before taking a first step.

THE EVERYDAY DETAILS.

A commuter experience

SEU at Realife does not provide on-campus housing. You may live at home or arrange your own local housing. Apartment referrals are available through SEU Staff; limited host home opportunities depend on availability. Plan early so you understand the costs and commute.

Meals & transportation

You’re responsible for your meals and transportation. A manageable commute will make it easier to participate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends while keeping up with coursework. Include fuel, meals, and travel time in your plans—not just the time you spend at Realife.
