Compare homesOn-campus housing and who runs it
University Housing provides a home for more than 7,000 students and is organized into administrative services, business and technology, residence education, and residential facilities. In practice, that means it covers hall selection, mail and package pickup, front desk support, community programming, building maintenance, and new infrastructure projects.
- Main office: 960 W. Douglas St., Fayetteville, AR 72701.
- University Housing’s contact information includes 479-575-HOUS (4687), 479-575-8450, and housing@uark.edu.
- Residence life support is part of the housing operation, not a separate system students have to hunt down.
How to apply and where to check rates
The housing site links directly to Contract Dates, Complete Your Contract, and Hall Rates, so those are the official places to use when you’re ready to apply or compare campus housing prices. The housing homepage also points students to meal plan information and a new residence hall page.
- Use the housing site’s contract and rate pages for the current process and pricing.
- Meal plans are handled through University Housing and Chartwells, with on- and off-campus options available.
- The dining information page sends students to the Dine on Campus website for hours, menus, and dietary details.
If you want to live off campus
The University of Arkansas also runs an official off-campus housing search for student apartments near UArk in Fayetteville. That’s the right next stop if you want to compare nearby rentals instead of signing a campus housing contract.
- Use the official off-campus housing site for student apartment searches near campus.
- The listing page is university-branded, so it’s the school’s own off-campus housing portal.
- It’s the cleanest starting point when you want to compare on-campus versus nearby apartment living.
Resident internet and basic move-in setup
For campus housing internet, the housing ResNet page says Windows users should connect to “UARK Wi-Fi” with UARK credentials for wireless service, or plug into the Aruba access point for wired service. That’s the practical setup step once you move in.
- Wireless setup uses the UARK Wi-Fi network and UARK credentials.
- Wired setup uses the Aruba access point.
- This is a setup step, not an instant-access promise; you still have to connect your device correctly.
