Residence Life - University of Alaska Fairbanks

Housing for Family, Employee, Graduate and Non-traditional Students

Many students at UAF attend the university after having started a family of their own. To meet the family and educational needs of these students we have several facilities for married or financially inter-dependant couples without children or single parents and their children. In these facilities we try to support our student families while they establish a family atmosphere within an educational environment. All of our family facilities are located on the main UAF campus on College Hill about 4 miles from downtown Fairbanks.

The Department of Residence Life offers housing for students with families in one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartment complexes and single, duplex and triplex homes.

Family Housing is available for married students, students with a financially inter-dependant partner, and students with children.

Staffing and Programming

Family Housing units are staffed by a Family Housing Manager, and 2 Assistant Apartment Managers. The Family Housing Manager provides various services for the residents, including coordinating maintenance and check-outs. The Assistant Managers are student members of the Department of Residence Life who live on campus and provide various services to the residents.

The managers also coordinate and facilitate activities for the residents in family housing. These activities may range from community BBQ's to Conversational English classes to events for the whole family.
