Residential Communities:
Built Around Reasonable Expectations

Campus Community Living Areas

The Residential Communities at UAA are composed of 3 suite style residence halls and 2 apartment complexes. Our mission is to provide safe and secure living/learning environments, which will help residents be academically successful students. 

We offer a wide variety of opportunities for UAA students to experience personal growth and development through educational, social and cultural programs, which are designed to supplement the classroom learning experience. Workshop topics range from college survival skills, roommate relationships and alcohol awareness, to global diversity, career planning, and date/acquaintance rape. 

Residents can enhance their leadership skills by becoming involved in student government or through our student staff positions. Interest groups emerge each year as students get acquainted, visit the Commons facility, participate as members of the residential community, and discover mutual interests. 

The Department of Residence Life is the framework that supports group living in the residential communities. Staff members communicate, interpret and enforce policies and community standards that are conducive to maintaining a positive living and learning environment. Living in our Residential Communities can add new dimensions to your UAA experience!

North, East, and West Halls are the three Residence Halls in the UAA Housing community. Opened in 1998, the three halls house approximately 200 students each in Single, Double, and Quad Suites. 

On each floor, rooms are clustered on two wings, and feature common area lounges for studying and socializing, coin-operated laundry facilities, computer labs and a student-staffed service desk.

The six-building Main Apartment Complex, known on campus as “MAC,” is located just west of the Residence Halls and offers apartment-style living for 296 students. 

Each apartment has four single-bedrooms, a kitchen, shared bathroom, living room, and storage area.
