History
The Department of Residential Life administers programs and facilities for all on-campus housing. Residence halls at South Dakota State University are living/learning centers where students are challenged to develop as individuals, as well as to study and to meet other students. All unmarried students are required to enter into residence hall and food service contracts with the University. Students who have completed four semesters of full time enrollment or who are two or more years beyond graduation from high school are excused from these requirements. Family student housing and some apartments are available at the University. The Department of Residential Life offices also administer the university food service. The University Food Service is committed to provide a food service program at SDSU that is both economical and of the highest quality. SDSU's food service program utilizes a computer-based declining cash balance system, uniquely designed to help students manage their individual food service accounts. All SDSU students living in residence halls are required to purchase at least a Base meal plan. Other students, faculty, and staff may voluntarily purchase discounted food programs at established rates.
