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, have a built-in support system and live close to everything. As soon as you are admitted to Arizona you should apply for housing, we have limited spaces and tend to fill up fast. We offer two types of assignment processes:
- Apply for housing before April 1st: you will be eligible to pick your dorm and room, based on availability
- Apply for housing after April 1st: you will select 5-10 preferences during the application process and Housing will assign you
To help you get started, and make sure you get everything completed, we have a step-by-step checklist.
