Housing contracts are available now for students who want to live on campus. On-campus students enjoy many advantages by choosing to live for additional years on the University of Arkansas campus.

Convenience

By living on campus, your student has the convenience of not worrying about a daily commute. Multiple meal options exist at our dining facilities and on-campus restaurants, which adds to the convenience of walking to class.

Residence Halls are designed to maximize student safety and offer on-call staff who are available at all times. Our campus enjoys its own police force. Their motto is “Protecting and Serving the Future of Arkansas.” University Police embrace this duty.

Housing rates are charged to your student’s account. There is only one student bill for on-campus students. Financial aid and scholarships are seamlessly applied toward housing costs.

Success

Students living on campus boast a 3.2 Grade Point Average (GPA). These students are also 89% more likely to attend the university for another year, according to university research. That is statistically ahead of the average off-campus student.

But the greatest on-campus advantage is our vibrant, academic community. Your student is surrounded by faculty and staff dedicated to their success. This is a quality unique to University Housing.

Priority 

Is your student concerned about space on campus, and actually getting a room? Recent construction and renovation provides ample space for current students who want to return to campus.

Additionally, current students select their rooms before incoming students. This gives your student priority in picking their housing assignment.

University Housing also dedicates several areas specifically for returning students across campus where they can live with other returning students.

Talk About It

Now is the perfect time for you and your student to consider their housing options.

It is an important decision. Know that the University of Arkansas is ready to help you both during this step in your student’s educational journey.
