Life at Dayton

It's Something You Feel

Many students list our campus and community among the top reasons for choosing UD. They say it's something you can feel during your first visit.

Maybe it's the community of students living on campus — 80% live in residence halls, apartments or our unique student neighborhood — or the bond felt when cheering for one of our Division I athletic teams. It could be the amazing arts and culture events, 250+ student organizations or campus recreation opportunities.

We invite you to visit campus in Dayton, Ohio, and find out what "it" is that makes UD special to you.
