Our residential system at DePauw includes nine residence halls, multiple theme communities, a unique village of small halls, and over 95 University-owned apartment and house units. In our communities, residents have the opportunity to become involved in a variety of leadership, social and athletic activities.

Arts

Orchestra

Art at DePauw comes in many forms and venues: the Performing Arts Series of events, an active student theatre program, exhibitions at the Peeler Art Center performances in the School of Music, film screenings and annual ArtsFest week, to name a few. Students participate, appreciate and enjoy the many options.
