One of the most exciting parts of college life is living on campus with friends and classmates. UD guarantees housing for students who confirm enrollment, and no additional housing deposit is required.
First-year students live in traditional residence halls that are co-ed by floor and feature a resident assistant on every floor, a chapel, study rooms and laundry facilities, which are free to use at no additional cost. Second-year students live in suite-style dorms or apartments, and upper-division students live in apartments and porch-clad houses in our unique student neighborhood.
Housing Assignments
To get started with housing, you’ll complete your Housing and Meal Plan Contract on Porches. Students do not have the option to select a specific housing facility — placement is random based on your high school graduation year and availability. Housing assignments will be released on a rolling basis.
Housing assignments are sent to your UD email address and include roommate contact information as well as photos and dimensions of an average room in your building.
Commuters
Students living with a parent or guardian within 40 miles of campus who plan to commute will complete the Verify Commuter Eligibility step on the Porches To-do List instead of the housing contract.
