New Student Housing
First-year students can apply for housing at porches.udayton.edu. Review the terms and conditions of the housing contract at resources. For move-in and orientation information, visit Student Transitions and Family Programs.
- All incoming students are assigned to live in housing with their peer group members.
- After submitting an enrollment confirmation, incoming students can complete the Housing & Meal Plan form in Porches. You can then enter our highly successful roommate match that considers personal habits and preferences, or you can create a roommate group to request a specific roommate. Housing is guaranteed and assigned, in each hall, regardless of the date the housing and meal plan form is completed.
Residential Facilities
There are a limited number of University-owned apartments designated for graduate and law students. Housing assignments are based on the submission of your Campus Housing Reservation Form or email request and availability of space.
You will be contacted in mid-May with graduate housing options. For questions, email Assignments Officer Veronica Champion at vchampion1@udayton.edu.
Residential Facilities
Once you've been accepted, visit porches.udayton.edu to apply for housing. For questions, email housing@udayton.edu. Include your name, Student ID, and start term for our Assignment Officers to determine your housing eligibility and on-campus housing availability.

Top 3 Reasons to Choose Housing at UD
Your Home At UD
Walking through the University of Dayton's campus, you're not the only one who feels right at home: approximately 85 percent of our students live on campus or in the student neighborhood. Students have a variety of options for housing, and they are supported every step of the way.
Our Community Spirit is Contagious!
When you live in our residential facilities, you will experience a sense of community that doesn't exist anywhere else. You will be in the middle of a vibrant learning and living environment where you can make connections, build lasting friendships and get involved in your hall or the larger UD community.
AVIATE - A Vision for Integrated, Applied & Transformative Education
AVIATE is the integration of the department's residential curriculum and housing assignments process for returning students. As students engage in AVIATE events, they are awarded PATH (Points Accumulated Toward Housing). Students’ PATH points impact their housing selection each year. The more invested a student is as an engaged member of the residential community, the better their priority is in the housing assignments process.
