Student Life
We believe faith flourishes when Christians share the joys and struggles of life in a trusted community.
Our weekly chapel services are designed to nourish you spiritually, calling you to greater faith and service for the kingdom. Every week, you’ll sit under the preaching of gifted teachers, from RBC professors and Ligonier staff members to theological leaders and local pastors.
Upon enrollment, you’ll be assigned to one of our four houses: Luther House, Calvin House, Edwards House, or Spurgeon House. This classical house system endeavors to help you build relationships and foster community through friendly competition, events, and service to the college and surrounding community.
Living on campus allows you to incorporate your growing knowledge of God into your everyday relationships. You’ll share a spacious suite with like-minded classmates, creating an ideal balance for community building and fellowship.
Conveniently located in the main hall, the RBC café is a place where you can connect with your classmates on your way to class or the student commons. Stop by to grab a hot or iced drink, catch up with a classmate at one of the coffee tables, gather around the couches to collaborate on a group assignment, or settle into your favorite reading spot.
Next to the café in the main hall, the RBC bookstore features carefully selected resources to help you succeed in your studies, flourish in your faith, and grow in gospel witness. Several books and teaching series from Ligonier Ministries are also available. You can also purchase RBC-themed apparel, coffee mugs, water bottles, and more.
Our preview day events allow you to attend a class, meet and talk with professors and current students, and learn more about life as an RBC student. Attendees are encouraged to stay for one of our evening academic events or weekend conferences as well.
A private campus tour allows you the flexibility to schedule a personalized visit. Your visit will be shaped by your unique academic goals as you meet with professors and current students, sit in on a class, and speak with our Admissions team.
ENGAGING STUDENTS OFF CAMPUS
At RBC, we take church seriously. All students are required to be active in a local congregation. The Orlando area offers countless opportunities for you to be part of a vibrant and faithful church community.
You and your classmates will get the opportunity to explore all that Central Florida has to offer, including local beaches, kayaking, tubing, hiking at nearby state parks, coffee shops, and amazing restaurants. You’ll also be just a short drive from Orlando’s amusement parks and the Kennedy Space Center.
Throughout our spring and fall semesters, you’ll enjoy a number of events and activities on campus, including Abide, a biweekly Bible study and worship night, sports tournaments, picnics, game nights, and more. Your classmates will also lead and organize off-campus events like game nights, dinners, study sessions, and other events. As an RBC student, you’ll even get to attend Ligonier and RBC conferences for free.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”
Situated between Founders Hall and the Administration building, our residence hall is only steps away from the library, classrooms, and the café and bookstore. With 72 bedrooms and 20 suites, this latest addition to our campus provides you with a double or private room and bath for rest and study, plus a shared space for fellowship and relaxation.
If you qualify to live off-campus, you can find nearby housing with other RBC students. Many of our current students live in apartments adjacent to RBC, developing friendships and life skills as they grow together into adults with minds, hearts, and hands working to the glory of God. Learn more.
RBC’s student employment program enables you to gain valuable experience in a field of your choosing, including the café and bookstore, academic research, event management, creative services, digital marketing, facilities, and more. In this practical extension of the classroom, you will benefit from the mentorship of invested supervisors committed to your growth.
