Residence Life Make yourself at home.
A Space to Live, Learn, Play, Grow
The community of residence halls, on-campus, and off-campus housing is the backdrop to your UD education. Our mission is to facilitate dynamic learning environments that feel like a home away from home. More information about UD Residence Life can be found in the Student Handbook.
Residence Services
Food Service
We offer a flexible on-campus meal plan service to students featuring a variety of dining options and menu alternatives available through our dining services. University policy requires residents of Aitchison, Cassat, Donnell, and Chlapaty halls to enroll in a meal plan. For upperclass students living in other UD housing, the purchase of a meal plan is optional. Park Village Apartments, Townhouses, and campus houses are equipped with full kitchens.
Vending Machines
Each residence hall is equipped with snack and soda vending machines for your convenience.
Laundry Facilities
Each residence hall is equipped with full-service laundry rooms; a charge of $50 per semester will be added to your student account for use of the laundry room in your housing unit.
Electronic Services
Computers are permitted in individual residence hall rooms and access to the internet is provided. All computers and other electronics (except cell phones) must be registered with the HelpDesk prior to use.
