UFV's infrastructure supports its academic triad. It comprises over 500 laboratories, including multi-user facilities with high-tech equipment. The campus features extensive experimental fields, forests, and biological reserves. Academic buildings are modern and well-equipped, complemented by a central administrative block, a convention center, auditoriums, and a vast network of IT services and libraries across its three campuses.


UFV provides comprehensive student support through the Dean of Community and Student Affairs (PACE). This includes psychological and social assistance, pedagogical support for students with learning difficulties, a student ombudsman, and programs for students with disabilities. Financial aid is available through scholarships, work-study programs, and housing and meal subsidies to ensure equitable access.
Student life at UFV is vibrant and engaging, characterized by a strong tradition of "repúblicas" (student-run houses), over 100 student organizations, and numerous cultural events like the famous "Festival de Inverno" (Winter Festival). The university encourages participation in arts, theater, music, and sports, creating a close-knit community and a rich, formative campus experience.



UFV offers on-campus housing through the Student Residence Halls (Restaurante Universitário e Moradias). While priority is given to low-income students, there are also options for postgraduates. The vibrant off-campus housing scene is dominated by the traditional "repúblicas," which are self-governed student houses that form a unique and integral part of the social fabric and student identity at UFV.

Campus safety is managed by the University Guard (Guarda Universitária), which patrols the campus 24/7. The university has a well-lit campus, emergency call points, and structured protocols for incident reporting. Safety campaigns, especially for nighttime mobility and health emergencies, are regularly conducted to ensure a secure living and learning environment for all students.



The Career Guidance and Placement Service (SAE) offers extensive career support, including individual counseling, workshops on resume writing and interview skills, and the management of the university's exclusive job portal. SAE organizes major recruitment fairs and company presentation days, maintaining strong connections with alumni and industry partners to facilitate internships and job placements for graduates.
