Auburn University Housing Residence Hall Rates
How much does a dorm cost at AUM? Campus housing rates are charged per student, per semester, and vary by room occupancy, so your exact dorm price depends on the residence hall and how many students share the room. Compared with broader college costs, dorms and room-and-board costs often run about $5,000 to $15,000 per academic year. Average college room and board is near $14,398, and dorm rooms alone are around $8,196, so AUM students can use the per-semester rates below to budget against the wider market.
AUM makes life on campus easy with services, recreation, transportation, dining, and more. The housing community has options for different budgets, room setups, and campus living preferences for current and prospective AUM students considering dorms. Our variety of residence halls is rented based on the occupancy of the room. The rates below are per student per semester and include: dorms at public university campuses often cost less than at private school campuses, though location can still raise prices. Many campus housing options at college campuses bundle room and board or require a meal plan for students living on campus, especially first-year students, so it helps to check the full housing contract when comparing total costs.

The room rates listed are usually charged per student per semester and vary by room type, such as a single room or a double room for two students. For single occupancy, single room rates are typically 50% higher than shared options with double occupancy, while some schools also offer triple or quad arrangements; for example, the University of Michigan offers single, double, triple, and quad rooms.
Your rate covers free unlimited laundry, free high-speed internet, free parking, free cable TV, free Warhawk Transit transportation, and a free membership to the AUM Wellness Center, plus 24/7 access to The Nest and 24/7 security, though at some schools housing charges may also include a meal plan or food depending on the residence hall. Meal plans vary by residence hall at the University of Michigan and average $6,205 per year. A furnished suite or apartment with a private bathroom, air conditioning, or your own bedroom often costs more; layouts also affect price, such as Auburn’s South Donahue Hall with two-bedroom shared units and the Village community with four-bedroom, two-bath units.
