Residence Halls

More than 500 students live on campus and call Dominican their home. Student housing provides quick access to everything campus has to offer, from the dining hall, to the gym and outdoor pool, to fun and diverse campus events.

Campus Housing

Dominican offers a safe welcoming place to call your home away from home. Every floor in the residence halls is staffed with live-in Residence Advisors (RAs) along with professional staff on-call 24/7. RAs host socials and activities while building relationships with their peers and encouraging them to make the most of their Dominican Experience. 

Applying for Housing

New students (first-year and transfer) wishing to live on campus will receive a housing application once they have submitted their tuition and housing deposit.

    My experience living on campus was a great step toward living on my own. The RAs were super helpful in transitioning me from home to dorm life."
