There are direct flights.
Expensive though. Hope they have a bus service.

yes, know a student who went to Ireland last summer for 5 weeks, got two or three (can't remember) courses completed in his major and spent every weekend traveling...absolutely loves that school.

From what I've seen/heard, yes. The on campus housing situation at Dayton is pretty unique.
Freshmen live in one of 4 dorms (traditional style, with the bathroom down the hall.)
Sophomores live in either a dorm, or an apartment that is on campus.
Juniors and seniors either live in an apartment on campus (different building than the sophomores) or a house in the "student neighborhood." University of Dayton owns basically entire streets of houses surrounding the campus, and that's where the students live. If you are curious, you can go on google maps and use that yellow man-figure in the lower right hand corner to drop down and view the houses on the streets--look at Kiefaber, Evanston, Lowe's, etc. You'll see a bunch of cute single family homes with front porches.
There are still some students who live in "landlord housing" or nearby apartments, but most student do live in UD owned housing.
This sounds awesome.
I'm an alum who lived in the "student neighborhood" for three years (we called it "the ghetto".) I lived on Kiefaber - it was awesome and this was when all the houses were the old NCR company houses - houses built around the turn of the century/early 1900s. Some of the old houses are still standing but many of them have been torn down and new, modern houses have been built but are the same style. It was a great way to learn some valuable house skills (cooking and cleaning an entire house) but still have the safety net and be surrounded by just classmates.

I’ve heard that the engineering retention rate is unusually high? Is that true, and if so, how do they do it?

Yes. Both of my kids applied (I'm an alumni) but decided to go elsewhere. UD has a four year guarantee - you pay the exact same price for all four years, so there is no creep in tuition and room and board. I don't know what happens if you end up taking more than 4 years to graduate. Both received generous aid amounts - the oldest got enough that it was only about $1000 more a year than W&M, which is the most expensive state school in Virginia. My youngest applied test optional so he didn't get as much merit aid, but it still brought it down to around $45,000 a year. Sticker price is $63,250.

UD alum here! It’s is a truly special school with a unique sense of community. Some of the best years of my life. It’s Catholic but you don’t have to be Catholic to fit in. Kids from all over the US but of course a lot from Midwest. The basketball games are very spirited and fun. I’m still close friends with my roommates from 20 years ago. I’m in West Coast now but we get together every year in Chicago (where a lot of kids head after graduation). Go Flyers!

My DD is a freshman at Dayton and loves it. Loves her classes and has made lots of very nice friends. The university is a real community.
