Live How You Want

Located in the Lehigh Valley, PA, DeSales’ 500+ acres of scenic residential campus are peaceful, beautiful, and safe. We’re less than twenty minutes from most local landmarks–like Historic Bethlehem and the Allentown Art Museum–and less than two hours from both New York City and Philadelphia.

DeSales doesn't do traditional “dorms.” Our residence halls are modern and spacious, making the adjustment to college life that much easier. All first-year residential students live in suites of four–two students each in a double room, with a shared bathroom in the middle. That means, no communal bathrooms to worry about. 

Most undergraduate students live on campus in one of several residence halls, while the nearby towns of Bethlehem and Allentown offer upperclassmen and grad students two great locations for off-campus housing. 

Please note: incoming first-year students are required to either reside on campus or commute from home.

Parking on Campus

There's plenty of parking available on our 500+ acre campus. So, unlike many schools, first-year students can bring their cars to campus! Lots can be found on the campus map.
