In Banfield Hall there are two bedrooms to one suite. Two people share one bedroom, so in one suite you would be sharing a living space and bathroom with three other people. In single student housing you share the apartment with three other people, however each person has their own separate room. In the family apartments only four people are allowed in the apartment, usually two to a room, though depending on family size and type, special arrangements are made. We also have two bedroom apartments, in which two people share a bedroom, but unlike the suites, these are equipped with a kitchen.

All the beds in UAS Housing, Banfield Residence Hall, Apartments, and Family Housing, are twin ‘extra-long’ beds

Yes. Be sure to buy the extra long twin size. Twin size sheets will fit, but must be stretched a lot and usually tear. Full is too wide. If you are shopping for bedding, most stores will have a “college” area where you can find extra long twin bedding. You will also need a pillow.

Each room in Banfield Hall has its own phone and line. Each apartment has one phone and line, and each family apartment also has its own phone and line. The phones are for local calls only. You do have the capacity to dial toll-free numbers, so calling cards can be used. If you would like long distance, you will have to make arrangements on your own with the phone company to get a second line hooked up. The phone company will bill you directly. Each bedroom is wired for a personal line. If you would like an answering machine, you will have to supply your own.

Yes, you can. Each room is set up to accommodate extra phone lines. You will have to go through the local phone company and get your own account set up. The phone company will bill you directly.

These can be checked out from the computer center.

In Banfield Hall, Ethernet hookups are available. We also have wireless access throughout housing and the UAS campus.

Internet access is free to all UAS students. Wireless cards for laptops and computers are checked out through Computing Services. The adapters for wireless cards in desktops are also checked out through Computing Services. For Ethernet in Banfield Hall, you will need to purchase your own Ethernet card, though the hookup is free. Signal antennas are also available for checkout if you have a weak signal in your room.

In Banfield Hall, each room has two desks, two dressers, and two beds. The desks have a lap drawer and three side drawers. The dressers have three drawers, and the beds are extra long twin size.

You can have such appliances in both the family and single student apartments. Propane and coal grills are also allowed on patios in the single and family apartments.

A few plates, bowls, and silverware are the basic necessities for residence hall life, though you are free to bring pots and pans for cooking and baking in the communal kitchen. In the family and single student apartments, there is a shared kitchen available, so it’s usually a good idea to bring your own dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and other utensils for cooking.

We discourage the use of tacks and nails to put up posters, pictures, and any other decorations on the wall. Any holes may be considered damage. Instead, we suggest tack adhesive or tape to get the job done.

Each room in Banfield Hall has approximately 16-20 plug-ins for your use. Remember that overloading outlets can lead to electrical fires.

As it stands at the moment, there is a $50 fee per car per semester for parking at UAS housing. There is no fee at the main campus.

The general rule around housing is that if after 10 minutes of submersion in water your pet is still living, it is allowed. What this means rule-wise is that only fish are allowed as pets.

The rule of thumb for guests is that each semester you are allowed to have guests over for three nights. This means three nights total, not three nights per guest. Special arrangements can be made for visiting families. The decision to make these arrangements or not will be made by the Residence Life Manager after consultation with your roommates.

Yes, if available. However, there will be an additional charge of $700 to the room cost. If housing fills up, any requests for single occupany, unless for specific, stated health reasons, may not be fulfilled due to lack of availability. Single occupancy will be awarded after the first week of class.

Each family and single apartment has a storage room. If you are a Banfield resident, there is a storage facility in the basement of the Hall. To gain access to this storage facility, you will need the assistance of a housing employee.

Room placements for the fall semesters are generally done in mid-July. Room placements for the spring semester are generally done in mid-December. Release of information about roommates can only be given if the other parties have given us permission to do so. Room assignments are subject to change and may not be the same upon check-in as on the placement letter sent to you, so generally you will meet your roommates upon arriving here in Juneau.
