On-campus living is your ticket to success at KU!  We’re committed to providing living environments to support your learning experience by focusing on academics, involvement, convenience, and value.

The four-point Mission Statement of the KU Department of Student Housing is to provide:

  • Reasonably priced living environments which are clean, attractive, well-maintained, and which meet current standards of care and comfort.
  • Orderly and efficient administration of the program through effective management.
  • A learning environment and related co-curricular programs which promote maturity, academic success, self-determination, leadership and community participation.
  • In partnership with the Memorial Unions, a variety of nutritious and pleasing meals, in pleasant surroundings, at a reasonable cost. Educational efforts relating food selection and eating habits to personal health are essential.

Please take some time to consider KU Student Housing.  We’re convenient, a terrific value, and the best way to make campus connections.  Where will you live?  We’ve gathered a lot of information to help find your answer.

New for 2007! Toward the goal of helping families plan for college expenses, the Student Housing department is offering a 2-year contract option for residents who sign a housing contract in 2007.

For you “KU History Buffs”, we’ve put together some information to acknowledge several feature stories about KU housing developed for the KU History Galleries. We think you’ll enjoy the articles and this glimpse into the past.  And while you’re here, take a few minutes to check out our “Top Ten” list.
