On-Campus Housing
Living on campus is a growth experience for many college students. The University Housing and Residential Engagement teams provide the support and resources you need to form a community with your fellow students and make the most of living on campus.
About Student Housing
The University Housing and Residential Engagement teams co-manage four on-campus residential communities: DeSmet Hall, O’Connell Hall, West Hall and Residence Village. They also manage off-campus residential communities at Ignatian Village (Small Group Houses) and Boryla Apartments (on King Ave). Each residential community has a trained residential housing specialist available to help residents of each building.
During the academic year, each residential community is staffed by an Assistant Director on the Residential Engagement team, a Lead Community Advisor, many Community Development Assistants (CDAs) and Peer Ministers. These staff members collaborate to promote the quality of the community through educational programming, career development, spiritual guidance, social activities and advising.
Each residential room is fully furnished and all units include internet access. Depending on the building, the residential communities are co-ed by wing, suite, townhome, apartment or floor. All residential communities feature free laundry facilities and community lounges with expanded basic cable television.
