Benedictine University maintains and operates residence halls as an integral part of academic life, as educational experiences are not solely contained in the classroom, laboratory or library. The residence halls provide an opportunity for students to combine academic life with social development.

Living on campus affords many opportunities, including the chance to make new friends and enjoy a variety of campus activities. Students who live on campus also have easier access to the library, classrooms, dining and athletic facilities, and avoid soaring gas prices and increasingly time-consuming commutes.
