FAQs
Ques: Is on-campus housing mandatory at Arizona State University?
Ans: No, it is not strictly mandatory. ASU expects most first-year students to live on campus, and housing is guaranteed if you apply by the deadline. However, students can choose to live off campus. Graduate, transfer, and international students are not required to live on campus, and spaces for them are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Ques: How are roommates assigned at ASU?
Ans: Students can either select their own roommate or be matched by the university. ASU provides a Roommate Finder tool in the My ASU Housing Portal, where both students must request each other for confirmation. If you do not select a roommate, ASU assigns one based on your lifestyle and preference questionnaire.
Ques: When should I apply for ASU housing?
Ans: You should apply as early as possible. For Fall intake, the priority deadline is May 15, and for Spring intake, it is November 15. On-campus housing fills quickly, especially at the Tempe campus. If you are considering off-campus housing, start searching at least 6-8 months before your move-in date to secure better options and rental prices.
