Living on campus is an exciting aspect of the college experience. Each Drexel residence hall has its own distinctive features and amenities, but all offer common recreation and study lounges, kitchens, and laundry facilities. Individual rooms are equipped to provide cable television and Internet access. Students living in the residence halls are supported by live-in Residential Living staff who organize regular events, activities, and study sessions. For more information regarding Drexel's residence halls, visit the Housing and Residence Life page.
Drexel's 2-Year Residency Program was developed to provide first-year (freshman) and second-year (sophomore) students with a range of learning and lifestyle housing options to customize their Drexel living experience. First-year students who are not approved to commute are required to reside on campus in a Drexel residence hall. Second-year students must choose to live in a Drexel residence hall (select options available), University-Affiliated Housing (operated by American Campus Communities — The Summit, University Crossings, or Chestnut Square), or in a Drexel fraternity or sorority house (invitation from the organization required). Learn more about Drexel's 2-Year Residency program.
To support Drexel's ongoing commitment to develop environments that are welcoming and inclusive, Drexel offers Gender-Inclusive Housing (GIH). This option enhances the residential experience by allowing students to live with other students with whom they feel comfortable. GIH is optional and students must expressly state their desire for this type of housing assignment.
Drexel also offers Living Learning Communities, which can enhance your student's academic experience at Drexel by connecting them with other students in their academic college or special interest group. These learning communities make it easier to meet people and form study groups or work on projects. Each community is assigned to a specific area in a residence hall with a central common area, and organizes its own social and academic activities. These communities make it easier to meet people and form study groups or work on projects.
