University Housing Policy
• HOUSING ON CAMPUS IS NOT GUARANTEED OR REQUIRED. This past year on-campus
housing was only 80%. With the emergence of off-campus dorms and construction of still newer by
the bed properties,campus is viewed as old and outdated and is suffering to compete.
• Forty-one residence halls with accommodations for approximately 10,100 students are currently
available at Texas A&M University. Of these,30 residence halls with approximately 8,000 spaces are
allocated to non-corps students. About 50%-60%of the 8,000 spaces become available(vacant)for
new students applying for housing for the fall semester.There are 2,200 spaces allocated to the Corps
of Cadets. 25%of undergraduates live on campus.
2004-2005 ENROLLMENT ANALYSIS
• Texas A&M University's fall 2004 enrollment includes approximately 44,521 students studying
for degrees in 10 academic colleges. "College Station"implies a collegiate influence.Texas A&M
University and to a lesser extent,Blinn College in Bryan,have a tremendous impact upon the
community. Following Texas A&M's transition from an all-male,military institution,the schools
population as well as that of the entire area increased significantly.
• Enrollment at Texas A&M is another factor to be taken into account.The fall of 2001 had 44,618
students attending.That's a 1.3%increase from 2000.In the fall of 2002 enrollment went up again
to 45,083 total enrollment, a 1.0%increase.But the fall of 2003 was a different story.Total
