Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In Kiewit, many students smell a persistent odor of mold and gym socks and are constantly catching people making out in common areas. In Deglman, the all-female dorm, ladies learn that single-sex living might mean brighter hallways and fresher smells, but it also means catfights and running into men during all hours of the night. Each sophomore dorm has its advantages. McGloin is the hands-down winner for its design and space—four students share a two-bedroom suite with a bathroom, living area, and kitchenette that includes a fridge and microwave. Swanson is also suite-style, but its suites are doubles that share a bathroom between four roommates. However, its benefit is that it is slightly more central to campus, meaning residents can wake up five precious minutes later.

Time is by far the greatest advantage of any on-campus housing, which is why many choose to stay on campus, even after the required freshman and sophomore years end. Although upperclassmen dorms Davis Square and Opus Square may be a bit expensive ($570 per person for a four-bedroom, four-person apartment that includes two bathrooms, a kitchen, and living room), utility costs are included, and living on campus saves gas money. While certain freshman residence hall rooms contain fewer square-footage per person than the state of Nebraska requires for penitentiary inmates, most students are thrilled with their humble cells. Campus housing is a great place to bond, and it’s unlikely you’re going to find yourself short a battery or dinner buddy any time of day.

Living in the Dorms

Living in the dorms on Creighton's campus is pretty fun. In terms of facilities, it is just like your average dorm. No one likes the idea of community baths and showers. However, I reside in Deglman Hall which is the cleanest all freshman dorm on campus. But dorm life is so much more than being in a certain facility. It's about the experiences that occur there that enable you to grow and develop and really just enjoy college life, especially as one embarks on his/her own life's ambitions. I love the people I have met through forming. It has definitely brought a great appreciation to me in terms of friendship and camaraderie.

Life on Campus

Campus Housing is decent as Creighton. It gets better as you get farther in your schooling. The dorms are old, but the rooms are spacious enough. The amenities aren't that great, group bathrooms are no fun. Getting into the housing process is pretty easy. You just have to fill out some paperwork and you're good to go. Socializing is pretty good in the dorms, there is usually something going on.

Life on Campus

Living on campus is so much fun. I absolutely love the way the dorms and housing is set up at Creighton. The social atmosphere is awesome and I really enjoy being there. On campus it feels like a big family and every one is very friendly and helpful. It is also super convenient because the small campus size makes it so that nothing is ever very far away.

Did You Know?

On-campus students are glowing since the school got a new cable provider, allowing all on-campus students to get free HBO and several other normal channels. Previously, free choices were largely limited to educational networks, Lifetime, and a ton of foreign language channels.

The University recently opened a new upperclassman residence hall, Opus Square, designed to be similar to Davis Square, which has spacious apartments, but the convenience of living in a residence hall on campus.
