Residential and Dining Services
Residential and Dining Services oversees the functions of all campus housing and dining experiences at East Stroudsburg University.The campus contains five traditional residence halls, three suite-style residence halls, the University Ridge, and the University Apartments complexes. They are equipped with lounges, kitchens, laundry and vending facilities, as well as living areas. Specific rules and regulations governing the residence halls are published and made available each year in the Residence Halls Information and Policies brochure. All residence halls are smoke-free.
First-year students are required to live on campus, unless they commute from their parent’s/legal guardian’s home within a 40 mile radius from campus. Housing on campus is provided on a combined room-and-board basis only (except for the University Ridge and the University Apartments, where a meal plan is not required.) On-campus housing is guaranteed for incoming transfer students who pay the Enrollment Fee and complete the on-line housing application by the published June 1 deadline. Beyond that, offers are made as space becomes available, and on a first-come, first-served basis.
All students are encouraged to consider signing up for our one of our Learning Communities. Currently, students can participate in the following programs: Global Learning, Criminal Justice, Health Science, Honors/STEM, and Transfer Community. To learn more about these programs please contact Dave Campbell at 570-422-3460. Transfer students are highly encouraged to consider living in the Transfer Learning Community (TLC) housed in Sycamore Suites. TLC is a living and learning experience that focuses on creating a transitional community with ESU students that are new to the Warrior community. TLC connects residents to academic support resources, while helping integrate individuals into their residence hall and the greater ESU community.
In partnership with Aramark, Residential and Dining Services provides on-campus hospitality to all members of the campus community.
