What makes Dayton really unique is the student neighborhood, or as the student body calls it, the "ghetto". It is about 6 blocks by 5 blocks of old houses that juniors and seniors live in.

It's a wet campus, basically meaning that partying is accepted as long as it's tasteful. The student neighborhood, called "the ghetto," is organized in a way that everyone's house is within walking distance and everyone is part of a little community. Also the campus is surrounded by the student housing, making campus the main hub or campus life; you aren't forced to continually go to the same bars to find good entertainment, fun + people. Also in the cafeterias there are little pubs that are open for $1 beers every friday after classes let out. Amazing!

Dayton is an amazing school. I am going to be in a ton of debt by the time I get out of here because of the price of tuition but I think it's worth every penny! I can't believe I am halfway done with my time here and it makes me sad thinking how fast time has flown by. I never want to leave here!

UD has a strong community unlike any at any other school I have ever visited. If you walk into any house in the student neighborhoods (the Ghetto or the Darkside), you will find people willing to talk to you and offer you a place to stay.
