Residential Life

A Home Away from Home

Comfortable housing and meal services that let students focus on what matters most — their studies.

At DarusSalam Seminary, we understand that where students live and eat shapes their daily experience. Our Residential Life program ensures that students from across the country have a safe, welcoming environment, with housing and meals designed to support both academic focus and spiritual growth.

Living Arrangements

DarusSalam is home to hundreds of students, many of whom relocate to Lombard to pursue Islamic education.
Local students typically commute from home, but out-of-state students (18+) are required to live in on-campus housing.
Housing is located on or adjacent to campus for easy access to classes, the masjid, and student activities.
Monthly cost: $450 per person (shared housing).
Students under 18 are not eligible for on-campus housing.
