“I chose to come to ASU because the second that I toured the campus, I just felt so in love. After visiting multiple campuses, it was indisputable that ASU was the most beautiful, the one that cared about it's students the most, was going to take care of me, and is a place where I would feel proud to be a graduate.”

Frequently-asked questions about campus life

What are the benefits of living on campus?

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. In addition to learning to live independently, studies reveal that students who live on campus do better academically and are more likely to graduate than their peers who live off campus.

What should I expect as a freshman living on campus?

As a freshman 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 freshmen allowed to live off campus?

Freshmen are expected to live on campus, and housing is guaranteed for all first-time freshmen. 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.
