What are the popular events and traditions at Dillard University?

Homecoming, Spring Fest and Coronation are recurring events associated with Dillard's campus calendar. They give students opportunities to participate in activities beyond coursework, although schedules and individual programs change.

Homecoming typically brings together current students and alumni around campus events and athletics. Spring Fest centers on student activities later in the academic year, while Coronation recognizes student leadership and campus court traditions. Applicants interested in performing, organizing or attending should look at the current year's events calendar rather than assume that every component occurs annually in the same form.

What are the student housing and dining options at Dillard University?

Dillard offers university-operated housing to undergraduates, including coeducational housing. Availability should not be confused with a guarantee of placement: students need to follow the current housing application process, deadlines and eligibility rules.

Prospective residents should compare residence-hall arrangements, room occupancy, meal-plan requirements and move-in dates before accepting an offer. Reported housing includes high-speed internet access. Students planning to live off campus should budget for commuting as well as rent, utilities and meals; those costs may differ substantially from the university's published room-and-board estimate.
