COMMUNITY HOUSING AND DINING GUIDE

Dear UK 2025 At the University of Kentucky we’re confronted with a question every day: how do we ensure the health, safety and well-being of every member of our community while continuing to provide the distinctive residential and educational experience for which we are known?

It’s a question we’ve been working to answer since this past spring, when our planning efforts to reinvent operations for fall 2020 began.

We know that a distinguished education from UK will be more necessary than ever before to help us and our students meet the ongoing and daunting new challenges our world must now face.

Dr. Eli Capilouto, President University of Kentucky

And, we are facing them — together.

Our flexibility in planning for the Fall 2020 semester allowed us to adjust in ways that better serve our campus. I’ve seen it firsthand in our dining facilities, where our students gather to share more than just meals.

I’ve seen our community come together in the ways we protect each other, whether it be by wearing a mask, staying six feet apart, practicing good hygiene or completing the required daily screening.

I’ve seen this same commitment in the ways our faculty, staff and students have come together with unmatched compassion and resilience, ensuring not only the safety of our community, but the health of our loved ones.

As you prepare to join us at the University of Kentucky for your freshman year, we want you to know that this commitment remains. Whatever obstacles we face, we will continue to make decisions that ensure the health, safety and success of everyone on our campus.

We can—and must—continue to meet this moment.

A SENSE OF BELONGING

Eli Capilouto

IT'S ALL HERE

LIVING ON CAMPUS Some of the best memories of college come from living on campus. Friends are made in a residence hall, on a walk to class, or over a meal in a dining hall. Living in the heart of the Big Blue Nation is one of the best decisions you can make.

Why? Because it’s all here. Classrooms, eateries, the library, and your friends are steps from where you’re living and learning.

PARTICIPATING IN A LIVING LEARNING PROGRAM LEADS TO GREATER SUCCESS. Studies show participation in an LLP can lead to: • Increased GPA • Successful and steady progress toward a degree • An increased sense of community • Increased engagement with faculty, staff, and students • Further participation in connected courses and academic experiences • Higher satisfaction with students’ choice to live on campus

“Being on campus really provides you with a home away from home. There is nothing like finding that core group of friends your freshman year in your residence halls. The convenience and the connections are definitely what have kept me on campus for 3 years now!”

– Austin Huff

YOU ARE NEVER MORE THAN A

3 MINUTE WALK FROM A DINING LOCATION ON CAMPUS

“I would never be the student I am today without the First-Generation LLP! I had no knowledge on what I needed to do to be successful in college. Thanks to the LLP, I was provided with knowledge and resources to make my college transition as smooth as possible. Plus, I have made many lifelong friends that I would have never met without the LLP.” - Olivia Johnson
