More than just a Place to Sleep...
Dorm living is about learning to be independent, getting along with others, and making friends. It’s a place full of opportunities to learn life skills and receive an education beyond the classroom.
It is a place of ideas, where your world will get bigger.
It is the college life.
There are so many great reasons to live on campus – you’ll do better in school, make lifelong friends, get the support to succeed, and live where everything is happening. Apply for housing as soon as you are admitted to Arizona. The earlier you apply for housing and complete your housing application, the more dorms you’ll have to choose from during Room Selection. Hurry, we often fill up!
To help you get started, and make sure you get everything completed, we have a step-by-step checklist.
