Welcome Wildcat families! At UK, we want the same thing you want: for students to succeed academically, grow personally, and have an enriching experience at the university.

UK's residence halls are located in two areas: North – the northern edge of campus closest to downtown Lexington and the Gatton Student Center and Central – the heart of campus closest to The 90 and the William T. Young Library. UK offers six room types. All students may choose from a four-person suite; two-bedroom suite; or a four-bedroom suite. Upperclassmen have additional options and may also choose from a two-bedroom apartment; a two-bedroom deluxe suite; or a four-bedroom apartment.

UK's Residence Life team creates a home-away-from-home in the residence halls for all students. Residence Life staff members serve as a helpful resource for all residents. From the programs and activities facilitated by Resident Advisors to the support of full-time, live-in Resident Directors – these team members make campus feel more like home.  The UK Residence Life team works to ensure that living on campus is an inclusive, safe, and fun learning and living environment for students.
