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).
Students are required to live in institution residence halls/apartments/houses and to take their meals in institution dining halls through graduation. New students will be assigned by Oberlin to an institution residence and granted access to institution dining halls.
 See the Office of Residence Life website for information about exceptions to this requirement and how to apply for an exemption.
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.

College and conservatory students may also elect to house and dine with the Oberlin Student Cooperative Association (OSCA), an independent student-run non-profit association.
Students new to Oberlin may occupy their rooms beginning the first day of Orientation. Returning or continuing students are permitted to return to campus two days prior to the start of classes. Meal service is provided at no additional cost to new students during orientation; continuing students may pay for meals in institution dining halls until the first regular board-plan meal beginning at dinner of the day returning students are expected to arrive.
Dining halls are open during the academic year, with limited options during holidays and during fall and spring break periods. Options for early return or break stay housing are offered by Residence Life.
