Due to robust housing application numbers for the 2024-2025 academic year, UA has a master lease with East Edge. This apartment complex is located near campus and students have private bedrooms and bathrooms, except in studios. All apartments come fully furnished with kitchens and a washer and dryer. Crimson Ride buses stop at East Edge, and the location provides easy access to campus. Additionally, students are able to stay through break periods and the summer for no additional cost (Summer option only available to students who do not graduate in May). Students are responsible for providing their own linens, trash receptacles, cookware, eating utensils, and cleaning supplies. Students who live at East Edge through UA complete the UA housing application and contract, rather than a lease with the property.

Housing and Residential Communities will have a master lease with East Edge again in 2025/2026. Interested students who have completed a housing application will be able to complete an East Edge interest form, and assignments to East Edge will be made before online room selection in April. Log in times to access the interest form will be based on when a student submitted their housing application. Students on the returner waitlist for housing will not have access to complete the East Edge interest form.
