No, it is not. You can wait and reserve on-campus conference housing space when you arrive at your new student conference, as plenty of housing space is available. However, conference housing requests may be submitted for new students and family members, in advance, if you wish to do so. If you prefer to reserve new student conference housing space on-line, you may do so at: http://reslife.tamu.edu/how/nsc/. If you can not reserve housing on-line, or have questions, contact us at 979.845.9381, Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
