American Campus Communities is the nation's largest student housing company. We believe every student should love where they live. That’s why our number one priority is delivering the best possible experience — at every price point. It’s the goal we continually strive for, and the mantra that shapes our values as an organization. Our current 203 owned and managed communities can be found in 96 university markets across the nation serving over 133,000 students.

In 1984 our CEO Bill Bayless began his career as a Resident Assistant and found his passion in life: helping students succeed. He turned that passion for student success into the company he runs today. It’s a passion we all share. In fact, most of the management team first joined the company as students working at ACC communities.
