Living in Colonia de la Paz: what to know before you pack

The room

Colonia de la Paz offers single rooms at 90 square feet (9' x 10') and doubles at 176 square feet (11' x 16'), both furnished with 38-by-80-inch Twin XL beds on 6.5-inch mattresses. UA lists this hall as Bunkable: No, so you cannot stack one bed on another — but Colonia de la Paz falls into the group on UA Housing's FAQ that restricts bunking while still permitting height adjustment, so raising a bed for under-bed storage is allowed. Singles get six electrical outlets and doubles get eight, along with built-in and wardrobe closets measuring 24 by 48 inches, a dresser, and a desk, all on hard flooring rather than carpet. Closets are compact, so plan on packing cubes or an over-door organizer to stretch the space, and check your final bed height before buying storage bins.

Day to day

Colonia de la Paz is a three-story dorm for 463 residents, built around multiple courtyards with Southwest artifacts, open hallways, study 'bridges,' small alcoves, and balcony areas — a different feel from UA's taller tower dorms. Bathrooms are mixed: UA lists wheelchair accessible community bathrooms as a feature, but also lists suite bathrooms that are not equipped for wheelchair access, so accessibility depends on which you're assigned. The building is at 602 N. Highland Avenue near the Campus Recreation Center, Highland Market, and Arizona Stadium, a short walk for residents who want to hit the gym between classes. There's an elevator, and package lockers give 24/7 pickup without waiting on a front desk. Climate runs on UA's four-pipe fan coil system, providing heating and cooling on demand without a manual changeover.

Move-in day

New-student move-in at Colonia de la Paz runs on UA's standard first-year window, August 18-20, 2026, scheduled through Pre-Arrival Online Check-In in My UAHome. Beds here can't be bunked, so don't plan on stacking with a roommate — but height adjustment is permitted at this hall, so under-bed storage is still on the table if you measure your final clearance before buying bins. Standard Twin XL bedding is what you want either way. The courtyard layout means multiple building entrances; confirm your specific courtyard and room number ahead of time so you're not circling the block with a loaded car. Community bathrooms here are wheelchair accessible, which move-in helpers should keep in mind when planning routes for residents who need it.
