Housing & Dining
Just as we offer our students a dynamic variety of academic programs and co-curricular activities, our housing and dining options are equally eclectic. We believe that curiosity and debate are fundamental to a liberal arts program, not only in the classroom, but also as part of one's life. Our residential campus reflects this atmosphere of continuous learning through varied housing options, including thematic programs that invoke interesting discussions. Hear directly from students about campus housing and dining.
Eleven residence halls are grouped in two spacious quadrangles and encompass recreation, discussion, and study areas, and some incorporate themes, such as outdoor adventure and healthy lifestyles.
Greek life at the University of Puget Sound is well-established, with 25 percent of students involved with one of eight sororities and fraternities. The Greek houses that border the campus are university-owned, and members of these Greek-letter societies participate fully in campus life, as do the students who choose to reside off campus.
Legendary at Puget Sound are our theme houses – a popular housing option, grouped around language and topical themes, such as the Ben & Jerry's Literature House, the Independent Arts House, or the Knitting and Service Alliance House.
Not to be overlooked, dining at Puget Sound also presents a variety of options. The Wheelock Student Center serves as the hub of campus life, with its main dining room and fireplace, and numerous food stations that serve all daily meals. You can choose from Mexican, Asian, vegetarian and vegan cuisine, and a grill, deli, and salad bar. Wheelock also is home to two student-managed cafes – Diversions for coffee and pastries, and The Cellar for its perennially popular pizza. In Fall 2006, the Oppenheimer Café opened in the science center courtyard.
