Living on campus gives you easy access to everything you need to thrive academically, emotionally, socially, and physically. Classes, dining, recreation, support services, and more are all within walking distance—and if you don’t fancy a walk, just hop on a shuttle.

NAU housing includes a variety of traditional, suite-style, and apartment-style housing options and is open to all students: freshmen, upperclassmen, transfer students, and graduate students.

There are dedicated facilities for sororities and fraternities, international students, and families, as well as for students in the Honors College or those interested in mixed gender or gender inclusive spaces.
