Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at Texas Southern University.
Texas Southern University offers on-campus housing across several residence halls and apartment communities. Students are encouraged to apply early as spaces are limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Application Process: Students apply for housing through the TSU Housing Portal after receiving admission. A housing deposit is required to secure a placement. Returning students may participate in priority room selection based on accumulated on-campus tenure.
Meal Plans: Students residing in traditional residence halls (Lanier, Bell, Crawford, and Nabrit Halls) are required to purchase a meal plan. Tiger Village and apartment residents may purchase optional meal plans. The main dining facility, Hannah Hall Dining, serves all-you-can-eat meals throughout the day.
First-Year Requirement: First-year students are required to live on campus unless they are commuting from a parent or guardian's permanent home within a commutable distance of the university.
