UAH's recurring campus events include Week of Welcome, Homecoming and Spring Fling. They give students opportunities to participate in campus life outside classes, although the activities scheduled within each event can change by year.

Week of Welcome is oriented toward the start of a term and helps new and returning students find activities and connections.

What are the student housing and dining options at University of Alabama in Huntsville?

UAH offers university-operated, coeducational housing for undergraduates, including residence-hall and apartment-style options. Housing is available, but students should not interpret availability as a guaranteed assignment to their preferred building or room type.

About 29% of students were reported to live on campus. Residence options and eligibility can differ by class year, so incoming students should review the current housing application, deadlines, contract terms and any first-year requirements before making a deposit or an off-campus commitment. Reported housing units have high-speed internet access.

Campus dining includes meal-plan arrangements and on-campus food options. A meal plan's value depends on where and how often a student expects to eat, especially for commuters or students in apartment-style housing. Applicants comparing residential and off-campus budgets should account for groceries, transportation and contract length as well as the published room charge.
