Housing & Dining
A home base where you can recharge and spark new ideas.
We’ve engineered Kettering University to be an incubator for future leaders. Talk tech with floormates over a latte at Great Lakes Coffee or brainstorm projects over a custom rice bowl at Battenberg Café. These are more than places to refuel and relax—they’re hubs for networking, idea-sharing, and building lifelong friendships and future partnerships.
All new incoming students live in Thompson Hall, featuring private rooms and free parking in an adjacent lot. Just a short walk away is the Learning Commons, where state-of-the-art amenities and tech-forward meeting rooms offer the perfect blend of focus and collaboration. With dynamic study spaces, advanced labs, and dining options, the Learning Commons is designed to inspire creativity and fuel academic success.
Whether you're grabbing a bite, working on a group project, or attending a study session, this space is where ideas flourish, making it the heartbeat of campus life and a place where you’ll be empowered to change the world.
