Can someone please explain to me how applying for dorms/housing works? Also, does this occur after you have been accepted into the university? Which dorms would you recommend to incoming freshmen?
You must be accepted into the university in order to apply for housing.
If you are a newly admitted student, you need take a look at this page for your NSC. Explore all of the links on the left. https://newaggie.tamu.edu/freshmen/
Here is to apply for housing. http://reslifearchive.tamu.edu/onlineServices/apply
This tells you about the halls. All of the dorms are for freshmen. Pick according to your budget, as they are not all priced the same. Don’t worry about what your major is, because your freshman classes will be all over the place.http://reslifearchive.tamu.edu/reshalls
Being that you are just now applying, you will be wait listed for on campus housing.
