Arizona State Housing TELL ALL: Dorm Life, the GLV, Sorority Life, and More [Alli]

In this episode of The Best Four Podcast, host Laura sits down with Alli, a junior at Arizona State University and president of her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. A Scottsdale native, Alli shares what it’s like to stay close to home for college, and how her housing experience shaped her college journey.

From navigating ASU’s housing portal as a business student to living in the social hub of Hassayampa (Hassay) her freshman year, Alli offers a detailed look at dorm life, Greek housing in the unique GLV setup, and her transition to apartment living at The Carmin. She also opens up about roommate matching, budgeting tips, and what she wishes she’d known earlier.

In this episode, we cover:

• What to expect from the ASU dorm selection process (and why it’s confusing)
• The pros and cons of where she’s lived: Hassay, the Greek Leadership Village (GLV) and The Carmin
• What Alli learned from dealing with dorm maintenance issues and navigating move-in stress
• Which neighborhoods ASU students typically live (Apache vs Mill)
• How she chose her apartment off-campus and why she’s heading back to the GLV her senior year
• Advice for incoming freshmen on getting involved, managing money, and finding the right roommates
