Choosing to live on campus is the best decision you can make as a student. Living in the heart of Big Blue Nation makes your time at UK more fun, helps you foster deeper friendships, become more connected, and be more successful. Classrooms, eateries, the library, student support services, and your friends ... they’re all here. When you live on campus, you will be more supported socially and academically – that’s why students who live on campus tend to have higher GPAs than their peers living off campus.

WANT TO LIVE WITH PEOPLE WHO SHARE YOUR INTERESTS? PARTICIPATE IN A LIVING LEARNING PROGRAM.

UK’s Living Learning Program allows you to be part of a strong, tight-knit community focused on your interests, major, or career path. You’ll meet and make friends with people who share your passions and your classes, participate in special events, and experience the support of your fellow classmates, advisors, and professors working with your LLP community. Join one of our many thriving, supportive communities focused on helping you make the most of your college experience. Space is limited, so apply early and keep track of your application deadlines.

Complete the housing application as soon as possible after you receive your acceptance letter. The earlier you apply, the more likely you are to have your housing preferences met.

“If you want to get involved but you’re not sure where to start, you can start right in your residence hall. That’s one of the best things about living on campus. I met my core group of friends in the residence hall. You’re able to meet people without even trying, honestly. You’re in the elevator with them. You’re walking down the hall. You see the same people every day, so you might as well talk and build those connections. And you never know, you might meet your best friends.”
