The university provides 161 on-campus apartments spanning 21 blocks. These residents are reserved primarily for senior men and women. While it is not uncommon for there to be juniors in UFA, there are usually no more than four apartments inhabited exclusively by juniors.

The apartments themselves consist of two floors. The bottom floor contains a front room (usually used as a dining space and also a great place to play beer pong), a kitchen with a pantry, stove, and full-size fridge, and a back room which leads to the back porch. About half of the apartments have sliding glass doors in the back rooms, while the others have a large window and a door.

Upstairs, are two bedrooms (each housing two students), a bathroom, and a shower room. The sinks are placed outside of the bathroom hotel-style so several residents can be going through their morning routine at once.

Five apartments are also single-floored to be handicapped-accessible.

Laundry rooms and dumpsters are located close to every apartment block, providing easy access for all residents. The bathrooms are even professionally cleaned once a week by the university's facilities staff. Parking at the apartments is rarely an issue, but don't always expect to get a spot right in front of your house. UFA is a popular place to visit and you might find yourself having to walk a bit.

Parties are huge at the apartments. Many fraternities and student organizations have designated apartments where they hold weekly parties for beer pong, flip cup, dancing, etc. so naturally, the apartments are very active Friday and Saturday nights.
