University of Dayton
The University of Dayton was founded by the Society of Mary in 1850. The brothers and priests of the Society of Mary are part of a worldwide Marianist family of Catholic brothers, priests, sisters and committed lay people.

Since the University's founding, the Marianists have created a welcoming and inclusive campus where faith is best communicated through personal relationships. Every person, no matter their faith or background, is treated with respect and openness.

As part of our Marianist educational philosophy, we educate the whole person: mind, body, heart and spirit. We encourage students to engage the world, developing critical minds and compassionate hearts. We ask big questions and search for answers.

We strongly believe that education can transform society if people work together. Here, you'll find a community of caring individuals who are constantly seeking truth, working for justice, serving others and using their knowledge to improve the world.

For off-campus housing, rents generally range from $550 to $900, depending on tastes in décor and location and if students are living alone or with one or more roommates. Many students live near campus, in surrounding suburbs or even commute from the Cincinnati area. Some of our law students take advantage of the renovated lofts available in downtown Dayton.
