Does Tooker House include a fridge and microwave?

Yes. Tooker rooms come with a MicroFridge — a combination microwave and mini-fridge unit — already in the room, plus a lockable storage cabinet. That makes Tooker one of the halls where you should not buy or rent a fridge or microwave before arriving; it's covered. Coordinate with your roommate on what else to share, and remember ASU's appliance rules still apply to anything extra you bring: UL-listed only, no hot plates or open-heat cooking appliances, and only surge-protected power strips rather than plain extension cords.

Do you have to be an engineering major to live in Tooker House?

Tooker House is the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering residential community, so it houses Fulton students — the building is purpose-built around engineering first-years, down to the eSpace classrooms where FSE 100 (Introduction to Engineering) is taught on-site. If you're admitted to a Fulton program, Tooker is the default first-year home and the community is a genuine advantage: your floor is your study group. If you're in a different college, ASU's residential-college model points you to your own college's community instead, like Manzanita for Liberal Arts and Sciences.

What are the bathrooms like in Tooker House?

Tooker uses suite-style bathrooms — shared within your suite rather than with the whole floor. That means more privacy and fewer people per shower than a traditional community-bathroom hall, but you and your suitemates handle day-to-day tidiness between cleanings. Shower shoes and a caddy you can carry are still smart to pack: even a suite bathroom is a shared bathroom, and the caddy keeps your toiletries in your room rather than living on a shared shelf.

Does Tooker House have air conditioning?

Yes — every ASU residence hall room is air-conditioned, which in Tempe is a necessity rather than a perk: move-in lands in mid-August when temperatures regularly exceed 110°F, and hot weather runs well into October. You won't need to bring cooling equipment, though a small desk fan is a reasonable add for air circulation and white noise. Plan around the heat on move-in day itself — early-morning arrival, water in the car, and the fastest unload you can manage.

Living in Tooker House: what to know before you pack

The room

Tooker House rooms come in single and double layouts with suite-style bathrooms, and they arrive better-equipped than most dorms in the country: along with the adjustable-height Twin XL bed (36"×80"), desk, chair, and dresser, every room includes a MicroFridge — a combined microwave and mini-fridge — and a lockable storage cabinet for valuables. That changes your packing list meaningfully: no fridge, no microwave, and less worry about securing electronics. Note the mattress width when you buy bedding — ASU's Twin XL is 36 inches wide, narrower than the 38-inch industry standard, so standard Twin XL fitted sheets fit but sit a little loose. You bring bedding, towels, a shower caddy, hangers, and a desk lamp.

Day to day

Tooker is the Fulton Schools of Engineering's residential community, and it's built like a self-contained campus: an all-you-care-to-eat dining facility, a P.O.D. convenience market, a fitness center, a computer lab, study lounges with private study rooms, and outdoor gathering spaces — all inside a gated community with secure card-controlled access and a 24-hour front desk. The building even holds eSpace classrooms where FSE 100 (Introduction to Engineering) is taught, so some mornings your commute is an elevator ride. Living surrounded by other engineering first-years makes study groups form naturally — it's the closest thing ASU has to a live-in engineering incubator.

Move-in day

ASU Tempe move-in runs August 15–16, 2026, with your assigned date and arrival window published on My ASU (instructions land in your ASU email starting early July). Take the assigned window seriously and aim early: mid-August in Tempe regularly tops 110°F, so an early-morning unload is dramatically more pleasant than a midday one. Bring water for the family, set your bed height on day one before the room fills with boxes (the frames adjust), and skip packing a fridge or microwave — Tooker rooms already have the MicroFridge. Laundry machines are free in every ASU hall, so leave the quarters at home too.
