Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Temporary Housing before I move into my dorm/apartment?
TTU housing does not offer any type of temporary housing for students. There are a lot of preparations that go into getting the rooms ready before students arrive between the Summer II semester and Fall.
However, we have put together a list of possible stay options that you can use while waiting.
Please visit our Temporary Housing & Hotel Program Page for more information.
We also work with Visit Lubbock and local hotels to offer discounted hotel rates for you. You can find these hotels on the same page as our temporary housing options.
