Frequently Asked Questions

What is Alight?

It’s a high-quality Gainesville community designed especially with University of Florida students in mind. Alight features a variety of spacious, furnished apartments plus a full set of community features such as a clubhouse, pool, fitness center and more. All just minutes from campus.

Is Alight part of the University of Florida?

Alight is a privately owned and professionally managed community.

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 they 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 Alight 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 rate?

Each resident at Alight pays a flat rate that includes:
  • Furnishings
  • High-speed Internet
  • Water/sewer, trash disposal
  • Washer and dryer in each apartment
  • On-site management
  • Community features — pool, fitness center, clubhouse, etc.

What size are the apartments?

The spacious accommodations at Alight range from 1 to 4-bedroom with private bathrooms for each bedroom.

Are the apartments furnished?

Yes, all apartments at Alight 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 also include a dining table and chairs. To see a sample of the furniture and other finishes, please visit their model residences.

When do the contracts start and end?

The standard term is August 16, 2025 to July 31, 2026, with payments made in 12 equal installments. Limited alternate dates may be available; please inquire with their staff.

Is a co-signer or financial guaranty required?

Each resident must pay an administrative fee within 7 days after signing the Housing Agreement. This fee is reduced significantly if the resident provides a qualifying guarantor (often a parent) for their financial obligations under Housing Agreement.

Can I pay by credit card?

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

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

Is Alight open to non-students?

Nearly all the residents at Alight are students at the University of Florida. The per-person contracts are also designed with students in mind. Nonetheless, Alight is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students. Family members are welcome as well, subject to occupancy limits. Because of the need to match student roommates, non-students must apply together with enough roommates to fill the desired apartment.

What kind of safety and security are provided?

Alight has monitored fire sprinklers, plus controlled access key fob locks and individually locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols are provided at select times.

What are the policies on pets, smoking and guests?

Alight is a no-pets community. The community is smoke-free in all indoor 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 Alight?

Alight offers optional garage parking for an additional charge. Limited guest parking is also available at no charge.

What other transportation options will I have?

Alight is just a half-mile walk or bike ride to the UF campus. Three RTS bus routes stop right outside the community, including a bus to campus every 15 minutes.

Can I see a model apartment?

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

The apartments here were okay, but I ended up renting somewhere else. However, Christy did an amazing job of showing the place. She was extremely kind and very knowledgeable about the property and everything it had to offer. I think she was great. I almost rented there solely because of her. 10/10

I think this is a pretty decent college apartment complex. Great location and amenities for the price. I would especially like to point out the leasing office staff for being so kind and helpful, specifically Yayi. Always has a great attitude and is willing to be of any source of assistance. Definitely recommend going to talk to her about leasing and everything.

I rarely write reviews, but from my recent experience here at Alight I was compelled to write one. I would highly recommend Alight apartments! Not only are the rooms renovated, with modern countertops and appliances but the management here are always so eager to help you. Christina gave me a tour, and answered all my questions. She is the perfect balance between professional and sociable! If you’re looking to have the same entertaining tour as I did, definitely request her.

Alight is a wonderful place to live! The renovations are lovely, and the pool/outside area is very calm. Any time I need something Yayi in the office is always there to help and make sure things get done, especially when all my packages come in!! Having roommates there also isn’t a problem because each of the bedrooms is very private from each other, so you don’t feel like others are really in your space! It’s also so convenient for there to be a gym right in the building.
