Alight is a privately owned and professionally managed community. Click here for more information about the management and ownership.

You can select your roommate(s), or you can apply on your own and we can match you with other students. Applicants answer a short list of lifestyle questions to help in the matching process.

Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at Alight has their own individual contract, with one person per bedroom. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your apartment are empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.

Alight also offers automatic payment by either credit card or checking account — just fill out one page, one time and payments will be made automatically. Convenience fees apply for credit card and debit card payments.

Your living costs at Alight can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing. Any available financial aid funds, after university charges are satisfied, are released to the student for non-institutional expenses, such as off-campus housing. These funds can be used to pay charges at Alight. Normal payment deadlines will continue to apply.

Alight is designed and offered for students at the University of Arkansas and other local colleges and universities. The per-person contracts and shared apartments are also designed with students in mind. Therefore, applications are accepted only from students at UArk or another nearby college or university. Nonetheless, Alight is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes student residents with children, with adjusted occupancy limits.

Alight has a monitored fire-sprinkler system and individually locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols are also provided at select times. Management staff are available 24×7 and can be reached by a 24-hour phone number.

Alight is a pet-friendly community, subject to limits on animals and breeds. The community is smoke-free in all indoor and adjacent spaces. Guests are welcome at all times, subject to the consent of apartment-mates and security considerations. Overnight guests are welcome, with limits on the number of days and guests.

Alight offers free on-site parking, plus optional reserved parking for an additional cost.

The shuttle bus service runs weekdays between 7am and 7pm, during Fall and Spring semesters when school is in session and drops off at the Harman Garage, next to the business and engineering schools. Campus is also just minutes away by e-scooter on the Greenway Trail.
