Housing Process

Texas A&M does not require students to live on campus (except when tied to scholarship requirements). Housing is first‑come, first‑served, and once we reach maximum occupancy, students are placed on a Wait List—usually in February for fall and December for spring. Learn about the housing contracts and application processes available to new and returning Aggies.
