About Off-Campus Housing Near University of Central Arkansas
The University of Central Arkansas plants about 10,335 Bears in Conway, a town that calls itself the City of Colleges because it hosts three campuses at once. UCA's brick-and-column core feels classic, and student life runs through the Student Center and out to game days, where Estes Stadium fills up for the Bears. Conway pairs a college-town feel with enough city to keep busy: a downtown Commercial Historic District with restored storefronts, shops, coffee, and festivals on the square. For the outdoors, Beaverfork Lake Park spreads across more than a thousand acres with swimming, trails, and disc golf. Conway sits just up I-40 from Little Rock when you want a bigger night. Things spread out, so most students keep a car, but the campus core stays easy to walk.
University of Central Arkansas Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
UCA requires unmarried full-time freshmen who enter with fewer than 21 credit hours, not counting high school concurrent credit, to live in a residence hall for two semesters. The housing director or the Exemption Committee can approve exceptions, including living with a relative within a reasonable distance, already having more than 21 college hours, enrolling in fewer than 12 hours, being 21 or older, being married, having custody of children, or having lived in a residence hall elsewhere for two or more semesters. Administratively approved reasons clear quickly, while everything else goes to a monthly committee review, so apply early.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Most students move off campus after their first year once the two-semester requirement is satisfied. Conway's rental process is standard for a college town, with a credit or income check and often a parent cosigner expected. Plan to have your documentation ready so the application moves smoothly.
