Universities Receiving the Most New Student Housing Supply in 2025

Eight universities are expected to receive over 1,000 new student housing beds in Fall 2025, led by an astounding 2,565 beds expected at the University of Tennessee.

In total, approximately 26,000 beds are expected to come online across the core 175 universities tracked by in Fall 2025. That compares to about 35,000 beds delivered in Fall 2024. Since Fall 2021, supply in the student housing world has averaged about 33,000 beds annually, compared to roughly 50,000 beds annually during the 2010s cycle.

That means that the University of Tennessee alone will receive about 10% of the nation’s expected student housing stock in Fall 2025. Other supply leaders, including the University of Minnesota, North Carolina State, University of Michigan and the University of Texas at Austin, tend to be state flagship schools with massive – and growing – enrollments.

UT Austin was also a supply leader in 2024. In fact, by the start of Fall 2025, UT Austin will lead the nation in deliveries this cycle. From 2020 to 2025, some 10,000 beds will be delivered there.

Additionally, most Fall 2025 supply leaders have also gotten a fair bit of new student housing supply earlier in this cycle. Only a few supply leaders for this coming year are places where no new supply has delivered over the last decade or so, including schools such as Texas Woman’s University, University of Connecticut, Arizona State University’s downtown campus and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Huntsville’s conventional apartment market, meanwhile, has also been experiencing massive volumes of new supply lately.
