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 the UA you should apply for housing, we have limited spaces and tend to fill up fast. We offer two types of hall/room assignment processes:
- Apply for housing by April 1st: you will be eligible to pick your hall and room, based on availability
- Apply for housing after April 1st: you will select 5-10 hall preferences during the application process and Housing & Residential Life will assign you to a hall and room
To help you get started, and make sure you get everything completed, we have a step-by-step checklist.
