(Well, not all of them. We can’t figure out #4 on that ECON final either.)
It’s a high-quality Laramie apartment community designed especially with University of Wyoming students in mind. Alight features spacious, furnished apartments plus a full set of community features such as a 24-hour fitness center, clubhouse with study and game rooms and a resort-style pool, all just minutes from campus.
Alight is a privately owned and professionally managed community. Click here for more information about the management and ownership.
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.
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.

Each resident at Alight pays a flat rate that includes:
The spacious accommodations at Alight include 2 and 3 bedroom floorplans, with space up to 1,200 square feet. All apartments have a private bathroom for each bedroom.
Yes, all apartments at Alight have a furniture package that includes a full-size bed, dresser, desk and chair in each bedroom, and a sofa, armchair, and coffee table in each living room. To see a sample of the furniture and other finishes, please visit our model residences.

After a Housing Agreement is signed, each resident is required to secure their financial obligation in one of three ways: by providing a qualifying guarantor (often a parent); by pre-paying the final 2 installments; or by purchasing a third-party guaranty from our partner, Leap. In limited cases, we may also waive the requirement for a financial guaranty if a resident has sufficient income of their own.
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.
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.
Nearly all the residents at Alight are students at the University of Wyoming. 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 residence.
Alight has a monitored fire sprinkler system, plus electronic locks and individually locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols are provided at select times. Management staff are also on-site 24×7 and can be reached by a 24-hour phone number.
Alight is pet-friendly, subject to limits on animals and breeds. 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.
Alight offers free parking for residents, as well as a limited number of guest parking spaces at no charge.
Alight Laramie provides a shuttle that runs weekdays from 7am -5:45pm. It picks residents up at the entrance of the front office and drops off at the Union on campus. There is also the UW LaramieLink shuttle bus which stops just one-third of a mile away from Alight, and runs to campus and downtown every 40 minutes during the Fall, Spring and Summer terms. Alight is also a quick drive or bike ride to campus, just a mile away.
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.
