On-Campus Housing & Dining

Students studying in the GGP are required to live in the campus residence halls (dorms).  Usually, students will be paired with an American student, which is a great way to practice English.

During the winter break, many campus resources (ie. residence halls and dining halls) are closed and unavailable to students. Only students living in apartment-style residence halls with kitchens in the suite will be allowed to remain on campus.

The following halls listed are open for the winter break: Brooks Flats, Heritage House, Texana House, University House, and University Parks **Students in these residence halls may remain in their assigned rooms during winter break.

The following halls listed are closed for winter break: Alexander, Allen, Brooks College, Collins, Dawson, Earle, Kokernot, Martin, Memorial, North Russell, Penland, South Russell, Teal

**Students in the residence halls listed above must find alternate housing off-campus. **Students living in residence halls that are closed during the winter break are not allowed to move to an apartment-style hall for winter break housing on campus.

All students are allowed to leave their belongings in their assigned room during the winter break, regardless of whether the hall is open or closed during the winter break. However, any perishable food should be removed from the residence hall prior to a student leaving campus for winter break.

If you are interested in knowing which resident hall you have been assigned to, or want to change your assignment, you can contact Campus Living & Learning at Living@baylor.edu.
 

Students studying in the GGP are required to purchase a university dining plan.  Students will eat at the many different places to eat on campus - go here to learn more about the various dining options.  Students just take their ID cards to one of these dining facilities and they will be allowed to eat (no cash required).  

Note that the dining halls are closed for a short period around the Christmas holidays, and are also closed for a short period after the end of the spring semester.  During these periods students will need to make other arrangements for their meals.
