About the Office of Housing and Residence Life

The Office of Housing and Residence Life provides and maintains a safe, clean, comfortable, community-centered environment which fosters academic success, individual growth and responsibility, and civic engagement. Staff and community members support core values of community, integrity, respect, diversity, learning and leadership. Our residential complex accommodates 400 students in one-, two-, and four-bedroom, single-gender, furnished, apartment-style units. Utilities (heat, water, air conditioning, garbage, and electricity), cable, and IU Internet service are included.

Located at 1735 Titan Drive and connected to the main campus by a pedestrian bridge, the site includes eight residential houses and a community building with silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The community building features wireless internet and a computer lab, front desk operations, mail service, and a large community room with a fireplace, big flat screen TV, a pool and ping pong tables, study/meeting areas and a laundry facility.

A full-time Residence Coordinator and eight Resident Assistants live on site and provide community development and educational programming, roommate mediation, basic helping resources, and accountability for policies. The property is monitored by campus police 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Full-time IU South Bend, Purdue Statewide Technology or Ivy Tech Community College students are eligible to reside in housing.
