The AUD Student Housing Division provides residential students with a safe and well-maintained living/learning environment that supports individual progress and provides quality services and programming.
We maintain four residential, non-smoking student buildings, two for men, two for women, accommodating a total of 520 residents, across a collection of six-storey and four-storey halls.
Rooms are double occupancy and equipped with a private bathroom and WiFi, with each hall featuring a laundry room, study area, TV lounge, and fully equipped kitchen and dining room.
Located in the northwest corner of the AUD campus, the halls are a 2-5 minute walk to the academic buildings, library, computer labs, cafeteria, small grocery shop and the sports facilities that include basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, as well as a soccer field and a swimming pool.
For details on fees & check-in/out dates, refer to our Housing Handbook.

During the check-in dates of the semester that you are applying for.
You may pay online, or through a bank transfer. You may also visit our Finance Office if you wish to pay by check, card or cash.
We operate on a semester basis. The housing fees should be paid in full before you check-in.
A student can stay free of charge in his or her room between terms provided he or she has paid for the next term. The only exception is for the December break. Only students whose homes are outside the UAE can stay in the housing during this period.
The Housing deposit of 2500AED is used towards the housing fees. The security deposit of 1000AED is not used towards the fees.
