About Off-Campus Housing Near Delaware State University
Delaware State University is a public historically Black university set on a compact campus along North Dupont Highway in Dover, the state capital of Delaware. Founded in 1891, DSU has grown into a comprehensive institution offering programs in agriculture, aviation, business, nursing, and the liberal arts to roughly 5,000 students. The campus sits in a mid-sized city that moves at an unhurried pace, with the state government complex about two miles north and flat, bikeable terrain surrounding the area. Students who want a close-knit HBCU experience in a manageable city environment, with real access to state government internships and a strong sense of campus community, find DSU a compelling fit.
Delaware State University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
All first-year students at Delaware State University are required to live on campus in one of the residential halls for their entire freshman year. Students must apply for housing through the Office of Residential Life and pay the required housing deposit to secure a room assignment.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Students who have completed their freshman year are generally eligible to move off campus, though exceptions require approval. Upperclassmen 21 or older, students with dependents, or those living with immediate family within a commutable distance may qualify earlier.
Lease Timing
Most Dover landlords list available units starting in January for the following August. Students who wait until spring semester often find the best options already taken, so searching early in the spring semester is strongly advised.
