Residence Life

By promoting respect and responsibility among individuals who learn from one another in our residential community, the Residence Life Office (RLO) at Davidson College provides a safe residential space for learning and development. 

With a four-year residency requirement, over 90 percent of students live on campus.

Through their experiences in the residential community, Davidson students gain the knowledge, awareness, and skills to lead ethical, inclusive lives. RLO promotes residential communities through the curriculum goals of community responsibilities, self-awareness, wellness and inclusive excellence.

RLO handles all room assignments, first-year pairing, manages room and damage billing, coordinates social and educational programming in the residential communities, serves as a liaison between residents and maintenance staff and responds to all housing needs.
