It might be hard to imagine, but approximately 100 students have jobs within the UAF Residence Halls. Our student employees discover that working part-time makes the transition to college easier. A flexiable work schedule provides some structure to help you keep on top of academic responsibilities and balance your time during the week.

In fact, campus data reveals a secret: UAF students who work a part-time job do better academically than students who choose not to work. Surprise!

At the Department of Residence Life, we have experience with a student workforce and know that academics are your top priority. Along with studying, a job is a great way to become an important part of things happening here. Many lifelong friendships begin on the job. Working also helps you develop a good reputation on campus, which will jumpstart your future applications for internships, co-ops, and advanced-level jobs that require an employment reference.
