Housing and Dining Options

Oberlin offers variety in the architecture and size of its residence halls, which range from traditional housing for 230 students to small, family-like residences for 18 students. The Office of Residence Life provides programming opportunities on support, community-building, and student engagement. 

Housing options include single-gender and all-gender floors/halls; identity-based communities and language houses; and apartment-style village housing (available for those with junior status and above).

Campus dining offers a range of dining facilities with varied menus that include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and many allergy-sensitive options. Dining services are managed by AVI Foodsystems, Inc.
