Our North Campus residence halls are conveniently located close to many dining options and are just a short walk to downtown Lexington, Rupp Arena, the UK Student Center, White Hall Classroom Building and Patterson Office Tower.
UK’s Central Campus residence halls are near the William T. Young Library, The 90 – our popular campus dining facility, the Jacobs Science Building and the Johnson Recreation Center. These halls also are just a short walk to Kroger Field.
Lock in your room type rate! Off-campus housing prices can change at any time. But we’re offering you the opportunity to lock in your room type rates when you live on campus for two years. It’s easy to take advantage of this special opportunity and savings. All you have to do is to sign the amendment to your Housing and Dining Contract. That Amendment is listed on the Contract Amendment Signature step of your application.
Meal plans are convenient, flexible and loaded with options. Meal plans let you eat anywhere on campus at anytime of the day. Students living on campus are required to choose a residential meal plan. Commuters, faculty, and staff have additional choices to also provide them with a plan that fits. You'll get value, whether you eat on campus three times a week or three times a day! Click on the blue Meal Plan buttons below to find out more information.
During the application process for housing in the MyUK Portal, you will have the option to request up to three roommate preferences. You will be asked several questions to help you find a potential roommate using the roommate matching questionnaire. If you have a specific roommate you would like to live with, you will be able to search and confirm your roommate between January 15 and July 13. To learn more about room selection, CLICK HERE.
The primary focus of the Residence Life program is to support the educational mission of the University by supporting students in their academic and personal goals.
The Living Learning Program, or LLP, is comprised of 17 different Learning Communities and Residential Colleges. These different communities support student success by placing students with similar interests into smaller communities in particular residence halls. Students receive special programming, interaction with UK faculty and staff, and a supportive community.
"The living learning program provides you with a wealth of opportunity. Mine has opened doors that I did not know existed."
-Lindsey Snider, Peer Mentor
