The University of Dayton has a unique feature: it has a student neighborhood (literally). Over time, the University of Dayton has acquired houses that are adjacent to its property. Most of the students with junior or senior status at the university live in these houses. The university has been slowly renovating and/or rebuilding the houses which are in the worst condition. Most students refer to the south section of the neighborhood as "the ghetto." The area north of the campus center is known as "the darkside." Besides the Ghetto, the University of Dayton also has four residence halls, including Founders Hall, Marycrest Complex, Marianist Hall, and the Stuart Complex.
