Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at Denison University.
Denison University requires all undergraduate students to live on campus for all four years. Students are assigned housing based on class year, with first-year students primarily placed in East Quad and West Quad traditional halls.
Application Process: Returning students participate in an annual housing lottery and room selection process in the spring. Incoming first-year students are assigned housing by the Office of Residence Life prior to arriving on campus.
Meal Plans: All residential students are required to purchase a meal plan. Denison operates two primary dining halls — Huffman Dining Hall on East Quad and Curtis Dining Hall on South Quad — plus several additional dining options in Slayter Union.
Greek Housing: Greek chapter houses are located on The Hill. Members may live in chapter houses as part of their Greek experience.
