<p>I have a couple of questions about room & board and housing at AU. I am a prospective student. Does AU require a student to live on campus during freshman year? (I believe this is the case, but I was wondering if someone could confirm this for me.) Regarding sophomore year, may a student find his/her housing off campus, and if so, does that mean that the student then pays only tuition (and pays for his/her own housing independently, without paying room & board to AU?) I understand that GW, for example, requires a student to pay room & board both freshman and sophomore year, but after that the student is free to find housing on his/her own. Thanks for any clarification, in advance. Also, generally speaking, at AU what is the percentage of students who live on campus in their sophomore, junior, and senior year?</p>
<p>Best way to get these answers might be to email <a href=“mailto:housinganddiningprograms@american.edu”>housinganddiningprograms@american.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks very much for this link; I’ll ask the housing office these questions.</p>
