Frequently asked questions about campus life

Living on campus means you’re just steps away from your classes, professors, libraries, computer labs, tutoring centers and everything else ASU offers to help you succeed.

What should I expect as a first-year student living on campus?

As a first-year student living on campus you’ll be placed in a residential college — a community of other students in your major who live on the same floor. You’ll have built-in friends and study partners starting your first day of college.

Are first-year students allowed to live off campus?

First-year students are expected to live on campus, and housing is guaranteed for all first-year students. If you don’t plan to take advantage of living on campus, you must notify ASU by specifying it on your to-do list, which you’ll find in My ASU.
