At University Apartments, we are always looking for ways to get everyone involved in our community. We offer many weekly events, field trips, teen/youth only events, parent groups, and many other activities. Be sure to frequently check our events calendar to see what’s going on and how to sign-up for events. Be sure you take a look at the details of the event, although many of our events are FREE we also organize several other events that have a fee to participate in.

Another great way to stay plugged into the happenings and events in our community is to connect with us on social media.

As a not-for-profit program, most sessions are free. If a cost is required, it will be 100% used for the cost of materials needed for a specific session.
