Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

DePauw is a four-year residential university, meaning that all students live on campus all four years. Within the last few years, the University has done away with OIT, Out in Town, housing which was rented to students by home owners who served as land lords. All student housing is now University-owned, which makes it subject to University rules. This entails registering parties, being subject to damage penalties, and disciplinary actions for student conduct code breaches. With the shift to University ownership, many campus housing options have been greatly improved. Students can choose between newly-designed duplexes, family-style homes, apartments, or suite-style dormitory living. Priority is given to independent students first, and then by seniority amongst Greek students. All of the housing arrangements are done by a lottery, in which students are given a number, and upon their number being chosen, they are allowed to pick their living unit and roommates of choice.

All upperclassmen housing is within a five-minute walk from nearly all buildings on campus. The living areas are generally larger and offer amenities such as kitchens, laundry facilities, and private rooms. The houses are often a nice break from the restrictions of the Greek system and offer students a taste of real world living, even if it is only on the fringe of the DePauw bubble.

This isn't trying to be funny or anything. Students at DePauw are required to live on campus. So don't worry about this at all.

Everyone Lives on Campus

No one stays on campus so there is nothing I can say about Off-campus housing. The only people who would even attempt to live off-campus are those who are from Greencastle.

We do not have off campus housing unless you have a special excuse everyone lives in DePauw housing.
