University of Dayton

It's happening everywhere, and we're providing the best programs and spaces possible to make the connection.

Hallmates are classmates. First-year students are members of living-learning communities, united in class and in residence halls around common themes or areas of interest.

You might walk down the hall from your room in Marianist hall to attend history class, or step off your front porch in ArtStreet into a gallery or performance space. Perhaps you'll learn a thing or two about teamwork while climbing the rock wall at RecPlex.

And then there are the front porches. We own hundreds of single-family homes in neighborhoods that our students call home. They play competitive games of cornhole, gather on each other's porches - and share meals and prayers with the Marianist brothers and priests who live right there with them.

At the University of Dayton, lessons take place in the classroom. Or on the front porch.

We believe we learn best in community.
