History:
Named for its geographical location on campus, the University Heights began as a series of 6 town homes that were gradually expanded into a three-building complex comprised of 20 town home units. Each townhouse unit provides housing to a group of either eight female or eight male upper-class students in four double rooms. Due to the more independent living environment, residency in the University Heights is a privilege extended to those students who have shown themselves to be both academically and behaviorally successful during their time at DeSales and is traditionally reserved for juniors and seniors.
