When comparing the cost of on-campus housing students should consider the amenities, which make on-campus living a very economical and practical choice.
Residence halls are just a short walk to classes, campus dining facilities, the library, gym and the Student Life Pavilion. Students who live on campus will not necessarily need to rent a car to efficiently get around on a daily basis.

Students will be given access to the online housing application once they are officially accepted by USD. On-campus housing is limited , thus students who wish to live on campus are encouraged to complete the housing application as soon as they are given access.

Student who plan to eat on campus often may choose from number of meal plans to best suit their needs. Students are encouraged to wait until they arrive at USD to decide whether or not to purchase a meal plan.
They will have time to purchase a plan or make changes to their meal plans during the first week of classes.

It is possible to get around the city using public transportation, but it is not always the most convenient option. The purpose of the exchange program is to expand the curriculum available to graduate students of Latin American Studies.
