Troy University Freshman Dorms 2026
Troy University requires students under 19 to live on campus unless commuting within an hour from a parent or guardian's home. First-year-style housing clusters in three cheaper halls -- Clements, Cowart (women-only), and Pace -- all priced $2,530-$2,935 per semester. Only Cowart Hall's page explicitly confirms air conditioning; Clements and Pace do not mention AC on their official pages, though both share the same campus and era as Cowart. Move-in for Fall 2026 runs Saturday, August 8 through Monday, August 10; classes begin Wednesday, August 12.
