Students who reside in these apartment-like suites are expected to monitor their own behavior, as well as advocate for themselves with regard to issues and concerns in the hall.

Each suite typically houses students in groups of four, either in single-bedroom or double-bedroom suites, and has a small common area and a bathroom with a shower that students are responsible for cleaning. Laundry facilities, study areas and lounge spaces are located on each floor.

Residents can choose to live co-ed in a suite (men & women in the same suite) or single-sex in the same suite. All have to agree to it. Residents can also choose optional gender-inclusive room placements.

The residence hall is overseen by an Area Director who assists in the development of communal living. This staff person is responsible for enhancing residents’ college experience by assisting in promoting programs within the hall.

Programs designed by the two Community Assistants in the hall promote the development of both academic and social skills. A Community Assistant is an upper class UMF student who assists in building community within their areas, as well as help residents get involved in the campus community through various programming initiatives.

The floors in FAB are distinct by number, floor from ground level up. There is a main lounge and kitchenette for student use and a bicycle storage area. Residents of FAB Hall sign a community agreement.
