Info on Housing
Questions on where to live? Here’s some helpful information to get you started.
On-Campus Housing: Residence Life provides a welcoming, educational, and sustainable community living at the heart of the Aggie experience. Residence Life’s goal is to provide an array of programs, campus experience, and easy to access facilities while living on campus. Through these services, it allows a student to maximize the overall academic experience. On campus housing encompasses initiatives including study spaces, faculty engagement, and academic achievement events.
On campus housing is home to approximately 11,000 Aggies (including Corps of Cadets). Students have the option of residence halls and university apartments. Residence Life offers six different types or styles of residence hall living spaces: balcony style, corridor style, commons style, modular style, ramp style, and Hullabaloo. Members of the Corps must reside in the Corps resident hall unless approved by the Commandant. Applications and more information can be found at Housing & Res. Life.

As a new student at A&M, adjusting to life on campus in your first semester will come with some difficulties and a lot of questions. What’s the best way to get to all my classes? How much time do I need to ride the bus? Where can I park? What are my dining options? What do all these traditions mean? Not knowing the answers to these questions can often make a student feel under prepared and feel behind in their first few weeks at A&M. That’s why we have the Texas A&M app! The app is free for anyone and was designed for students and all visitors. It was created to access a lot of useful information that makes getting around on campus much easier. Did you know that you can access your NSC schedule through the app as well? To familiarize you a bit more with the app, we’ve made a brief description of the top five features. There are many more features, so be sure to check them all out.
