It wouldn't be a wise idea to have the habitable sections be on the ends of the ship, as the ends are the most vulnerable and prone to accidents. Would be far better to have the inhabited quarters in the middle where they can be easily defended, and less prone to any stray radiation that might come through. Use the ends for defense, mechanics, flight etc.
How is the ship built?
