MOMENT

At UK, we don’t just say we put students first in everything we do – we put our words into action. In the last 12 years alone, we’ve spent $4.4 billion transforming campus to have everything you’ll need to do all the things you never thought you could.

When you walk in your residence hall and first meet your roommate or meet up with your study group at the Gatton Student Center, you’re walking into spaces that have been carefully crafted with your success in mind.

Where the UK community hangs out, lives and studies on campus are some of the newest facilities in the country and are full of all the amenities - comfy furniture, tons of spaces to charge all your devices and great snack and dining options.

Some of the newest and most modern residence halls in the Southeastern Conference – yeah, we have those, too.

They’re also home to the student organizations and clubs where acquaintances become family and the resources and support services to help you academically, socially, financially and your mental health and well-being.

The University of Kentucky is a community, a family here to support you every step of the way.

600 600 MORE THAN STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

“ The University of Kentucky is the best place in the world. I have never felt more at home away from home. I’ve met so many people. I’ve made so many connections. I’ve done things that I never thought I would. I’ve made the best friendships of my life here, as cliche as that sounds. The most genuine friendships happen because everyone is growing. Here, we’re all growing together and those bonds are really special. I would have never gotten the opportunity to do any of the things I’ve done or meet any of these people if I didn’t come to UK.
