TAMU Dorm Cost?

Hey, I'm currently applying to Texas A&M University and I am trying to figure out my living situation. How much does it typically cost to live in the dorms there? Are there any dorms that you would recommend for freshman?

The cost of living in dorms at Texas A&M University can vary depending on the type of housing and meal plan you choose. Generally, the cost for on-campus housing ranges from $4,000 to $6,500 per semester, with some options being more expensive due to features like private bedrooms or apartment-style living. Meal plans typically range from around $1,600 to $2,400 per semester. Combining these costs, you can expect to spend anywhere from $5,600 to $8,900 per semester for on-campus housing and a meal plan.

As for freshman dorm recommendations, Commons Residence Halls are popular among first-year students. This area consists of four traditional-style dorms: Mosher Hall, Haas Hall, Schuhmacher Hall, and Rudder Hall. These dorms have a great sense of community and are centrally located near academic buildings, dining options, and other campus resources. The Modular Halls is another option, featuring suite-style rooms with a private or shared bedroom, shared living area, and a bathroom shared by no more than four people. Appelt Hall and Hullabaloo Hall are examples of Modular Halls.

Keep in mind that certain living communities, like the Corps of Cadets dorms or the Living Learning Programs, have specific requirements for eligibility. Research each living option to determine which one best suits your preferences and needs. Additionally, be sure to utilize Texas A&M's housing website for more information about the different dorms, their features, and costs.
