2nd Year + Housing

Stick with us cactus header
Deciding where to live after your first year at Arizona can be a big deal. Whether you're looking for academic support, amenities, convenience, value, or just want your own space, we have options just for 2nd Year+ and Transfer Wildcats — including more single rooms and rooms with full-size beds. No confusing or complicated leases required! 
Starting October 15, 2026, current U of A students can lock in their Fall 2026 housing by submitting an application. Room Selection kicks off on October 22—so you’ll have some time to link up with your roommate(s) or suitemate(s) before picking your space. Apply by October 22nd to have the most choices — and you'll get first dibs on dorms and rooms before incoming freshman.

The following are housing options for upper-division students however, students can choose to live in any dorm. Space is limited; access to these housing options is based on availability. Except for those living in Honors Village, 2nd Year+ on-campus residents are not required to have a meal plan.

Hopi 

Our smallest dorm is even cozier with ALL single rooms featuring full-sized (double) beds in the Highland District, reserved just for current and transfer students. Hopi is great for those looking to live within a strong, smaller community. 

Hopi is home to a 2nd Year+ Discovery community.

Honors Village

The Honors Village continues to enhance the honors experience on campus. Honors Wildcats can return to live in an Honors Village apartment, double, or a single-suite (based on availability). 

Pima 

Located in the heart of campus, Pima dorm is an ideal dorm for current and returning Wildcats! Pima offers suite-style dorm rooms, some with full beds. Pima consists of two physical buildings, Pima Lodge and Pima House. Three community kitchens located in both buildings make it even easier to cook a meal or heat something on the go!

Pima is home to a 2nd Year+ Discovery community.
