    Living on Campus

    academic spotlight

    Choosing to live on campus is the best decision you can make. Living in the heart of Big Blue Nation will make your time at UK more fun, help you foster deeper friendships, become more connected and be more successful. When you live on campus, you will be more supported socially and academically. That's why students who live on campus have higher average GPAs than their peers who live off-campus.
