Freshman Live-On Requirements
The University of Arizona does not require freshmen to live on campus. On-campus housing is available and popular among some incoming students, but a significant portion of the freshman class lives off-campus from the start. The off-campus market in Tucson is accessible and well-suited to students at any level.
Off-Campus Eligibility
No contracted or approved housing system exists. Students rent freely throughout Tucson. UA's Off-Campus Housing program provides listings and tenant education. The 4th Avenue corridor and the University District are the de facto starting points for most off-campus searches.
Lease Timing
Most Tucson leases near UA turn over in July and August for fall occupancy. Landlords list in March through May. Starting in March for fall is advisable, especially for the most popular units near the 4th Avenue corridor and the University District.
