What is Atmosphere?

It’s a high-quality Fayetteville apartment community designed especially with the University of Arkansas students in mind. Atmosphere features a variety of spacious, loft-style apartments plus a full set of community features such as a luxurious clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center and resort-style pool, all within walking distance from the U of A campus.

Is Atmosphere part of the University of Arkansas?

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

Can I live with friends, or can you match me with roommates?

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.

What are per-person contracts?

Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at Atmosphere 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.

What is included in the rent?

Each resident at Atmosphere pays a flat rate that includes:

  • Furnishings
  • Wi-Fi
  • Water/sewer
  • Trash removal
  • On-site management
  • Community features — pool, fitness center, etc.

What size are the residences at Atmosphere?

The spacious accommodations at Atmosphere range from studio through 4-bedroom floorplans, with a private bathroom for every bedroom.

Are the residences furnished?

Yes, all apartments at Atmosphere have a furniture package that includes a full-size bed, dresser, desk and chair in each bedroom, a sofa, coffee table and entertainment stand in each living room. Plus, all residences include a full appliance package in the kitchen. To see a sample of the furniture and other finishes, please visit our model residences.

When do the contracts start and end?

The standard term is August 15, 2023 to July 25, 2024, with payments made in 12 equal installments. Other alternate dates may be available; please inquire with our staff. Click here for a sample agreement.

Is a co-signer or financial guaranty required?

Within 7 days after a Housing Agreement is signed, each resident is required to provide a qualifying guarantor (often a parent).  However, a resident may choose to prepay the final 2 installments and request a waiver of this guarantor requirement.  In limited cases, we may also waive the guarantor requirement if a resident has sufficient income of their own.

Can I pay by credit card?

Yes. Residents can pay online 24 hours per day, by credit card or ACH electronic checking. Atmosphere 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.

Will my financial aid cover charges at Atmosphere?

Your living costs at Atmosphere 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 Atmosphere. Normal payment deadlines will continue to apply.

Is Atmosphere open to non-students?

Nearly all the residents at Atmosphere are students at University of Arkansas and the per-person contracts are also designed with students in mind. Residents/families with children are welcome. There is no extra cost for minor children in the care of adult residents, other than regular charges for each bedroom space selected by the resident. A minor occupying a bedroom space rented by a parent, guardian or person with legal custody is not considered a breach of the Housing Agreement or a violation of the rules. Atmosphere is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students. In order to match student roommates in shared apartments, we will request roommate consent for any non-student occupants.

What kind of safety and security are provided?

Atmosphere has a monitored fire sprinkler system, secure building entry, apartment door locks and individually locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols are provided at select times. Management staff are also on-site during office hours and a 24-hour emergency phone number is available.

What are the policies on pets, smoking and guests?

Atmosphere is a pet-friendly community, subject to limits on animals and breed and roommate consent. The community is smoke-free in all indoor and adjacent areas. Guests are welcome at all times, subject to the consent of roommates and security considerations. Overnight guests are welcome, with limits on the number of days and guests.

Can I park my vehicle at Atmosphere?

Atmosphere offers covered parking in our attached parking garage for a small additional charge.

What other transportation options will I have?

Atmosphere is a short walk to UArk campus and to shopping, dining and entertainment. Two Razorback Transit shuttle bus routes also stop just a half-block away.

Can I see a model apartment?

Yes. Please request an appointment for a personal tour, or just stop by to see us and we’ll be happy to show you the community.
