Community Living at the University of Dayton offers students a unique opportunity to complement their academic experience and achieve a greater level of educational fulfillment.

At UD, you will find a vibrant, friendly and inclusive community where students feel at home and can easily connect with other students, faculty and staff outside of the classroom. Students will experience a challenging and supportive campus climate that cultivates quality relationships with individuals of diverse backgrounds, guides students in their self discovery and purpose, and prepares students for a lifetime of learning and service in and for their communities.

UD has been deliberate about establishing key principles, habits, virtues and questions that shape a community embedded in the Catholic and Marianist traditions that foster holistic student development. The Division of Student Development works in partnership with faculty and staff across campus to help students reach their full potential. We strive to provide living-learning communities where students can live, learn, grow, lead and serve. We can help you discover and prepare, not only for your vocation but for your journey of life.
