Taylor University

What are the popular events and traditions at Taylor University?

Taylor has several recurring events that bring students together, most notably Silent Night at a men's basketball game. At that event, spectators traditionally remain quiet until Taylor scores its 10th point, then celebrate loudly. It is a campus tradition rather than a feature of every basketball game.

Airband is a student performance event built around choreographed, lip-synced acts. The Welcome to TU Neighborhood Block Party serves a different purpose, introducing students to the campus community at the start of the year. Dates and participation arrangements change, so the annual campus calendar is the best guide to a particular year's events.

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

Taylor provides undergraduate housing in campus residence halls and offers campus dining. Its residential model is substantial: the reported share of students living on campus is 95%. Housing availability, however, should not be read as guaranteed placement in a particular building or room type.

Students comparing options should review current housing eligibility, residence-hall choices, application steps, and any meal-plan requirements before accepting an offer. Campus dining includes meal-plan service and other food options, but hours and locations can change. A student with dietary or accessibility needs should discuss specific accommodations through the relevant campus offices rather than assume that every option is available at every meal.
