Housing
The University provides the following on-campus living accommodations for undergraduate students:
- Stalnaker Hall (Freshmen only)
- Carpenter Hall (Freshmen only)
- Herriott Hall Basement (Freshmen only)
- Crawford Hall (Freshmen only)
- Morehouse (freshmen/sophomore)
- Jewett Hall (sophomore only)

Students are required to live on campus for their first two years at Drake. This excludes non-traditional students who take time off between high school and matriculation. Most students choose to live off campus during their final two years.
Drake West Village is not a residence hall and is not owned by Drake University. This also applies to the Old Main apartments.
Drake University and Hubbell Realty leaders announced plans on July 20, 2006 for a $34-million housing and retail development at 30th Street and Carpenter Avenue. The development will create 7,000 feet of retail space for street-level neighborhood businesses and upper floors for state-of-the-art student suites. The buildings will house up to 500 students. Current design calls for a mix of one-, two- and four-bedroom units, where each student has a private bedroom and shares a common living and kitchen space. The housing will be targeted primarily at junior and senior undergraduate students and graduate students in the pharmacy program or the Drake Law School.
West Village opened for the Fall 2008 semester.

Famous quotes containing the word housing:
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
