About the Office of Housing and Residence Life

The Office of Housing and Residence Life provides a safe, well-maintained, community-centered environment that fosters academic success, personal responsibility, and civic engagement that is supported by staff who are student-centered and dedicated to student development. We enact our mission through the 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) free laundry 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 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. The community building features wireless internet, a computer lab, front desk operations, mail service, and a large community room with a fireplace, big flat screen TV, a pool table & ping-pong table, study/meeting areas and a laundry facility.

A full-time Residence Coordinator and nine Resident Assistants live on site and provide community development, educational programming, life-skills development, and safety/security checks. Campus Police monitor the property 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.
