On-Campus Housing Options
Find a Home That Meets Your Needs
With approximately 4,000 students, the residential community at Drexel University is composed of several housing options for first-year, transfer, returning, and graduate students. These options include traditional, hybrid, or suite-style living and all provide mailboxes for each student, free laundry, and communal spaces for entertaining guests. Plus, all Drexel and Drexel-affiliated housing options offer flexible co-op agreement options.
First-Year Housing at Drexel
Drexel offers multiple unique housing options for first-year students to satisfy the 2-Year Residency Program requirements that cater to individual needs and lifestyles. First-year students may choose from Bentley Hall, Caneris Hall, Kelly Hall, Millennium Hall, North Hall, Race Street Residences, Towers Hall, or Van Rensselaer. Hall availability may change annually, and specific locations can't be guaranteed.
Upper-class and Transfer Housing Options
Upper-class (i.e., students who have completed their second year) and transfer students are not required to live on campus; however, many choose to live in a Drexel Residence Hall for its convenient location, flexible terms (reserve to stay by academic term), and the ability to pay via the Drexel eBill. Upper-class and transfer students are invited to live in suite-style housing on the University City Campus and Bentley Hall is available to upper-class students who are accepted into the Living Learning Community. And, by invitation from the organization, a Drexel fraternity or sorority house is another housing option.
Current students and confirmed transfer students may apply in DrexelOne (the Campus+Community tab) any time after the application opens.
Additionally, there are three Drexel-affiliated residential properties on campus, managed by American Campus Communities, which many upper-class and transfer students enjoy living. Students seeking off-campus housing options may find the Off-Campus Housing Website to be a valuable resource.
Graduate Housing Options
Graduate students may apply to live in apartment-style accommodations on the University City Campus. Students will have the option to choose from private and shared apartments.
Drexel-Affiliated Housing
Chestnut Square, The Summit, and University Crossings are Drexel's affiliated-housing properties operated by American Campus Communities (ACC). Leasing with ACC provides independent living opportunities for second-year and upper-class students.
