Guaranteed Housing

Arcadia is a residential campus; students who do not live within 25 miles live on campus for their first two years. Full-time undergraduates who submit their housing deposit by the posted deadline are guaranteed a space.

Distinctive Housing Options

Our range of housing experiences encourage skill development and independence. All rates include cable, utilities, and access to free laundry facilities.

Traditional Residence Halls

For first-year students, our traditional residence halls—Kistler, Dilworth, and Heinz—encourage interaction among residents and emphasize cooperation, compromise, and respect for others. Amenities include: 

  • Central location to campus resources;
  • Laundry facilities, located on the ground floor and free of charge;
  • An air-conditioned main lobby (Kistler and Heinz) and vending area with a pool table and flat-screen TV (a foosball table can be found on the second floor Thomas/Dilworth lounge);
  • Common bathrooms on all floors.

Although most first-year housing offers you the opportunity to live with one roommate, many students live with two or more. Single rooms are available upon request, and are offered at a higher room rate than other spaces. There is a limited availability for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Rates: 

  • Single Occupancy: $4900 per resident, per semester
  • Standard Double or Triple Occupancy: $4200 per resident, per semester

All of the traditional residence halls are coed by floor, wing, or room. You will be placed in a coed-by-room environment (where male and female rooms are located on the same floor) by request in your housing application.

Grey Towers Castle

Grey Towers Castle is a first-year residence hall that is anything but traditional. Men and women are housed by wing in rooms of 2 to 5 students (occupancy of each room is based on square footage). Common bathrooms are available in each wing. A laundry room is provided, and a microwave is available in the common lounge area. Microwaves are not permitted in student rooms. Please note that given the large size of the Castle rooms, all students in the Castle pay the standard room rate.

Semester room rate per resident:

Standard Double Castle Room* $4,200
Rooms with 4+ Students $4,000

* Standard Castle Rooms accommodate 2-7 students. Occupancy of each room is based upon square footage.

Thomas Hall

Thomas Hall is reserved for upper class students. An extra-large single occupancy room is $4900 per semester, per resident.

Knight Hall

Knight Hall, a suite-style residence hall, houses both first-year and returning students. First-year students are housed in suites with other first-year students only. Space for this community is limited.

Depending on your desired experience, Knight Hall may be ideal housing if you are entering your second or third year of college. It offers the benefit of a smaller, more independent housing experience within close proximity to other residence halls and campus resources.  We house 5-8 upper class students per suite. Each suite shares a bathroom, a common area with lounge furniture, and a large closet. Residents are housed in a single, double, or triple occupancy room within the suite. Each floor is equipped with a laundry facility and a large lounge with a kitchen. Knight Hall is air-conditioned, and has elevator access to all floors.

Rates: 

  • Single Occupancy: $4900 per resident, per semester

Standard Double Occupancy: $4200per resident, per semester

Arcadia University assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided, nor does the University investigate or endorse any housing option listed.

Summer Housing

Summer housing is provided in Oak Summit Apartments on a first-come, first-served basis. The portal opens for summer housing applications in April. Undergraduates must be enrolled in a Fall course. Students must adhere to the University Code of Conduct and housing schedules set by Campus Life. Students may need to vacate housing or move to transitional housing upon request. These dates and processes will be advertised well in advance.

Rates: $2000 per session for single rooms; $1500 per session for doubles or triples

Housing applications may be completed in early spring; however, deposited students can sign on any time to confirm their demographic info. Log into PortalGuard with your MyArcadia login and click the “StarRez Housing Portal” application.

Assignments will be sent via Arcadia email no later than Aug. 1. Students who submit applications after the first week of August will be assigned on an individual basis as space permits.

Campus Life will ensure you have a housing assignment upon your return.

If you’re studying abroad in the fall, you should pay a deposit via the housing portal to reserve space for the following spring. In the portal, you can search for roommates and identify a housing assignment while abroad. If you do not identify a space, you will be assigned one based on your indicated preferences. If you are abroad during the spring, you will proceed through the online housing selection process with all other students for fall.

Mattresses in our residence halls are extra-long (36" x 80") and require twin, extra-long sheets. Residence and Commuter Life has partnered with On Campus Marketing (OCM LLC) to provide students with a convenient, affordable way to purchase bedding items, as well as other campus-living necessities.

In a traditional residence hall room, you will find:

  • Bed frame and mattress (twin, extra-long)

In Knight Hall, there is one bathroom in each suite. You are expected to clean and maintain the bathrooms. Housekeeping staff stock the bathrooms with paper products.

In apartment-style housing, units have one or two bathrooms, depending on the occupancy and size of the unit. You are expected to clean, maintain, and stock these bathrooms.

Does Arcadia have any partnerships for amenities?

Campus Life partners with two providers of in-room amenities: Campus Specialties Inc. is our combination microwave/refrigerator provider. As most returning student spaces within our housing system (Oak Summit Apartments) provide a full-size refrigerator and freezer, renting a refrigerator or combination unit can be a good option for first-year students. CSI also provides microwave-only options. All units are available for one or both semesters.

Due to insurance policy, only microwaves from CSI are approved for use within the traditional residence halls. No microwaves are permitted in the Castle, including those rented via our contracted provider.

On Campus Marketing (OCM) is the provider of linens, storage, and more. All items are shipped directly to students’ Arcadia addresses. This is a great option for students traveling from a distance. 

Given the agreement Arcadia University has with these companies, Campus Life receives a percentage of all purchases that is used for student programming.

Are my personal belongings insured?

Arcadia is not responsible for damage to personal belongings in your residence hall room or apartment. You should make sure that your belongings are covered under a homeowner’s insurance policy or make arrangements for renter’s insurance coverage if necessary.

What if I don’t get along with my roommate(s)? Can I change rooms?

Your first step is to discuss the situation with your resident assistant, who may be able to help you and your roommate resolve your differences. If, after discussion, a room change is appropriate, you must speak to your Campus Life coordinator. Room changes are not possible until after the third week of the semester, and then only as space permits.

Do the residence halls close during vacations?

During Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, the residence halls are closed. Break exceptions are available on a case-by-case basis. Charges may be associated with these exceptions. Students who travel from a distance are welcome to speak with their Campus Life coordinator to plan for these break periods.

Are the residence halls co-ed?

Residence halls house all genders. Most halls are co-ed by floor or wing. Additionally, Knight Hall suites and Oak Summit apartments offer the option of coed housing by bed, where students of different genders may share the same room. Campus Life Housing will only house you on co-ed-by-room floors or in coed-by-bed suites and apartments by request.

What are the rules and regulations associated with living in residence halls?

All University housing is smoke-free. Residents of the Oak Summit Apartments are permitted to smoke on balconies or patios.

When you complete your housing application, you can review the University Housing Agreement and learn more about University policies. Each resident is required to agree to and abide by this agreement.

What is my mailing address at Arcadia University?

Your address will be:

[Your Name]
Arcadia University
450 South Easton Road
Glenside, Pa. 19038

How does Arcadia house students?

Any student who requires medical accommodations will be given priority. Incoming first-year students and transfers are encouraged to submit important paperwork by May 1.

Roommate preference is priority. If you indicate that you want to live with a particular person, and that person agrees, we will do our very best to house you with that person.  Even if a student has a deposit date that makes them eligible for the Castle, if a roommate they select does not have a deposit date that makes them eligible for the Castle, the student will typically be placed with the roommate in another building.  

Students who indicate the Castle as a housing preference will be placed based on completed housing application date, as space permits. 

Housing assignments for Dilworth, Heinz, Kistler, and Thomas halls and the Knight Hall Enhanced Community are not based on building preference. Instead, housing placements are made based on the type of experience you indicate via the housing application: Do you want to live on a theme or coed floor?  With a particular person?
