History
The Department of Residential Life at South Dakota State University oversees all on-campus housing and food services. Residence halls serve as living-learning communities, fostering personal growth, academic success, and social interaction. Unmarried students are generally required to live in residence halls and participate in a meal plan unless they have completed four semesters of full-time enrollment or are at least two years post–high school graduation. Family housing and select apartments are also available. The department manages the University Food Service, which offers a high-quality, cost-effective dining program. All residence hall students must purchase at least a Base meal plan. A computer-based declining balance system allows for individualized account management. Meal plans are also available to other students, faculty, and staff at discounted rates.
