There's no place like home: big porches, small closets and
the eccentricities that make your UD years unlike any others.
Join us for a look inside the houses students call home by clicking on
the images below.

you spend the most spring evenings? Suggest

9 Evanston
 It was a duplex, but now it's a six-person house. This summer, it's getting another facelift.
5-27-08 |
30 Evanston
 Since the summer semester is short and only two habitants fill the four-person house, 30 Evanston is a bit bare this summer.
6-05-09 |
36 Evanston
Five seniors opted for a Marianist house instead of the housing lottery. They keep it clean, cook with fresh produce and even regularly have dinner guests. Oh, did we mention they're guys?

These fifth-year seniors don't just share a house on Evanston — they also share the same major (mechanical engineering) and a healthy obsession for jam sessions, foosball and board games.

1433 Frericks Way
Six juniors opted for tighter living space so they could have a
place on Frericks. The bonus? Neighbors in the other half of the
duplex.

1522 Frericks Way
They have a bathroom the size of a phone booth and a “little
room” upstairs. Maybe some alumni can explain the iron-shaped
burn marks on the carpet?

221 Irving Ave.
This remodeled house is home to six men, just as it was back in Mike Vitullo ’68’s day. Back then there were black walls, a bulls-eyed ceiling and a bathtub – no shower. See how things have changed.

They have a cellar out of The Wizard of Oz and a fish named
Robert Duvall.

 Mickie Krupitzer Rinehart ’89 shared memories of this old house, where she first roomed with four women who lived together all four years. Today, another group of women calls Kiefaber home.

232 Lowes
 UD students rented rooms in the Lowes house that Jeff Wenning ’74 and Jan Wenning Connair ’81 grew up in. When the family moved to Oakwood, they started renting the whole house to students.

1907 Trinity Ave.

scary than the one upstairs.
