Step 4: Apply for On-Campus Housing

Living on campus is one of the best ways to get the most out of your Boise State experience. Studies show that students who choose to live on campus are more likely to graduate on time and feel more connected to their community. Students are highly encouraged to live on campus, but it is not required.

  • The housing application opens mid-February for most transfer students.
  • For first year students starting in the fall semester, the housing application opens in March.
  • For students starting in the spring semester, the housing application opens in October.

If you are still waiting for the housing application to open, you can check out all the different housing options available to you on campus at Boise State! If you’re interested in intentional living communities, be sure to check out the Living Learning Program (LLP) as an additional housing option.

Not a First Year or Transfer Student?

If you are a non-traditional student, your next steps may differ from those of first year and transfer students.
