Single Student Housing
Residence Life offers housing to single students in eight different Residence Halls and one apartment complex. Each area is a unique community staffed by well trained Resident Assistants and Resident Directors or Assistant Resident Directors. Find out more about the features of each to help you select where you want to live.
Housing is offered year round, although on a limited basis in designated areas during the Winter break and Summer.
Single student housing is available in four main areas at UAF:
- Central to the main part of campus, Wickersham, McIntosh, Nerland, Stevens and Lathrop are conveniently located near the SRC, Lola Tilly Commons, Wood Center and the Rasmussen Library.
- The MBS Complex is home to the residents of Skarland, Moore and Bartlett Halls. Located just a short walk from the Wood Center and main campus, it is also close to the Natural Science Facility and West Ridge. The Department of Residence Life, Campus Cache, OIT 24 hour computer lab and the Hess Rec Center are also located within the MBS lobby.
- Cutler Apartment Complex, located just north of the Natural Science Facility, is a great housing option for students wanting the convenience of campus, with the independence of apartment living.
- MacLean House offers students coming from rural areas of Alaska a small community style living environment to help with the transition to college life.
Family and Employee Housing
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. Family housing agreement terms are usually for the length of the academic year.
Residence Life also provides housing for employees and their families. Employee housing agreement terms are for 12 months.
Staffing and Programming
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.
Graduate and Non-Traditional Student Housing
The Department of Residence Life wants to meet the needs of all graduate and non-traditional students. Single students have a variety of options including 1-bedroom apartments and efficiencies, as well as residence hall rooms.
