Frequently asked questions
Can I select my building?
No. Like other incoming students, you will be assigned randomly to a residence hall.
Can I select my roommate?
If you and another incoming student would like to request to live together, you can create a roommate group.
If you want to request to room with a current student, please email us at residentiallife@augustana.edu. Note that since available space is limited, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to honor roommate requests.
How do I request medical accommodations for housing?
If you have a medical condition that requires a particular accommodation, please complete the medical accommodation form and attach supporting documentation by Jan. 1 to ensure that you receive an assignment that meets your needs.
Do all of the halls have air conditioning?
Not all residence halls have air conditioning. While the first few weeks of the school year are warm, the weather during the spring semester ranges from comfortable to cold. If you require air conditioning due to a medical condition, please submit a medical accommodation request.
How does laundry work?
Laundry costs $1.25 to wash and $1.25 to dry. Students will need to download the Family Pride Pay app to pay for laundry on campus.
- Family Pride Pay mobile app instructions:
- Download the Family Pride Pay app from the App Store or Google Play and create an account.
- When you enter the laundry room and open the app, your phone will "find" the machines and show what is available or busy.
- Choose your machine by scanning the QR code sticker via the app.
- Confirm the vend price, load your clothes and detergent then press the blinking start button on the machine.
How are the rooms furnished?
Each student will have an extra-long twin bed, a desk, a desk chair, a dresser and closet space. Each room also includes a trash bin, a recycling bin, and window blinds.

Here is our list of recommended items to bring, and things you should leave at home.
What are the dimensions of my room?
We provide floor plan drawings of all of our first-year residence hall rooms online. After you get your housing assignment, you can find the dimensions of your room by choosing your hall in the list.
