Top Ten Reasons to Live On-Campus

10. According to national studies, if you live on-campus you’re more likely to get BETTER GRADES and GRADUATE ON TIME!

9. CONVENIENCE! Roll out of bed, jump in the shower, walk to class or hop the bus, and get to class ON TIME! No need to worry about traffic and finding a parking spot.

8. CAMPUS ACTIVITIES: When you live on campus, it’s easy to participate in intramural sports, study groups, student government, and social activities.

7. HELP is at your doorstep! A variety of services, including tutors, peer advisors, security staff, faculty, academic resource centers and computer labs, a great residence life staff and learning communities —all readily available to help you be successful.

6. MEALS ARE INCLUDED!!! Room and board are offered as a package, and KU Dining Services offers exceptional food, service, savings and convenience in more than a dozen locations across campus.

5. SAFETY and SECURITY are a priority— 24/7. All residence halls also have electronic key card entry.

4. VARIETY—Is one of the residence halls with a special interest community just what you need? Or perhaps a little more privacy with a residence hall suite or studio option? Or maybe you’re better suited to living in KU’s unique, cooperative living option, the scholarship halls? Whatever your interests or needs, KU Student Housing offers a living community just right for you.

3. FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES are just a door away! Living on campus is probably the best way to make friendships with a diverse mix of people with a variety of interests. Ask graduates what they miss most about their years on campus—they’ll say the fun and the people.

2. SAVINGS (Hassle-Free)!! With off-campus living, there’s rent, gas, electricity, water, trash disposal, phone, cable, and don’t forget grocery shopping! With KU Student Housing, your dining, housing and utility costs are all on one bill.
