Living on campus

Whether you are a sustainability student with a green thumb, or an innovation in society student with your mind toward the future, our residential and interdisciplinary colleges offer a thriving community where you can leave your mark. Live and study alongside students who share your passions, curiosity and commitment to making the world a better place.

All first-year students admitted to ASU as majors in the College of Global Futures are expected to live on campus. On-campus living provides a welcoming and supportive environment for students as they transition into university life, and also helps in the development of the skills needed for academic and personal success. Here, global futures students learn to access the many resources available to them — through residential programming, intentional experiences and opportunities, and targeted support.
