We encourage all students to consider the on-campus living experience at Temple University. The housing selection process is available in MyHousing through TUPortal and is easy for students to apply for housing, perform roommate matching, select a meal plan, and select a room!

The housing selection process works on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier a student submits their deposit, the better the chances of being able to choose a preferred room type or location. For new and transfer students, housing is guaranteed if your deposit and housing application are completed by May 1, 2025.
