Living On and Off Campus

Endless Resources, Either Way

No matter if you are living on campus or commuting, Drexel provides you with endless resources and opportunities to make your time here as fun and successful as possible.

Residential Living

For students who choose to live on campus, Housing and Residence Life provides a safe and welcoming environment to live and learn. Our residence halls are designed to support your academic success, personal growth, and connection to campus life. Residential students enjoy academic and social activities throughout the year, such as weekly events coordinated by Resident Assistants (RAs), and hall-wide events designed to bring residents together. Who knows — maybe you'll apply to be an RA and help shape the Drexel experience of those around you.

Off-Campus Living

The Student Life team at Drexel University offers resources and services to support undergraduate students as they transition to living off campus after their first and second years on campus, as well as to help graduate students find their ideal apartment. By partnering with Off-Campus Partners to provide a comprehensive, one-stop solution for students seeking off-campus housing, equipping them with helpful features and information to confidently make decisions about their living arrangements.

Commuter Support

Drexel's commuting students stay engaged with campus life through the Community Student Association, which organizes programs to build a sense of belonging, respond to commuter concerns, and increase faculty and staff awareness of issues affecting off-campus students. Further resources for commuting students include access to lockers and lounges as well as various transportation and parking services.

Dining at Drexel

Drexel offers many dining options around campus to match any appetite and even dietary preferences. Drexel Campus Dining makes it easy to use your Dining Plan — it's loaded directly to your DragonCard.
