Fact is, it’s easier to live on campus. We are a residential campus. First-time freshmen live on the EDGE (Education, Development, Growth and Experience), with programs to help make the transition from high school to independent living. There are also dorms and apartments, and housing for families. www.uaf.edu/reslife/
