There are some NEW Freshman Living & Learning Communities where you can choose to live. These communities are assigned to specific residential dorms. You need to make an application and be admitted to the community, then you will be assigned housing based on that.

****If you are wondering what a Living & Learning community is…I copied this from UA’s website:

What is a living-learning community?
Living-learning communities connect a student’s academic interests with his/her living environment, providing a supportive environment in which residents have a shared college, major, or academic program. There are many different living-learning communities at UA, with varying requirements for admission and different expectations for participants. Please note, participants in some living-learning communities will be assigned by the HRC assignments staff and require application to, and acceptance by, the program before assignment can be made.

Some of these are new for 2016/2017

*There are Academic Communities such as Blount,see list here:

*There are themed communities such as German House, see list

There is a form which must be used to indicate interest and preference for this type of housing. find the application here:

in addition other communities such as Blount have their own application and deadline.

If you want a particular roommate, you would also need to have pre-arranged this with other student(s), and they would need to have filled out interest form/application.

I was answering a question from another poster (different thread) and from my research I found these different housing options. I wanted to make sure that Freshman students and parents were aware of all the choices. Some choices are New.

Please note that the student must fill out the “Housing Interest Form” and if applicable, fill out the particular community’s “application” as well… In addition, if roommates want to be together they must All fill out the appropriate form/applications.

Also note: that some of these communities have an academic component and require specific classes for the freshman year.

There are definitely more options than in year(s) past.
