For Najiya Clayborn, she knew bigger was better for her.
“I went to a big high school, so coming to a big university wasn’t a big shift or big change. I like what bigger universities have to offermore students, more room for connections, more friends to make,” Najiya said.
The starting point for those friendships for Najiya - living on campus.
“The University of Kentucky overall is a beautiful place to live and be a part of. Living on campus gives you way more access to events and other opportunities. You literally can just wake up, get dressed and there’s an event or class going on right inside your hall,” she said.
Najiya formed a close bond with other students she met as part of the Creative Arts living learning program.
“The Creative Arts LLP is where I found my community. There’s constantly new things to do and learn - visual arts, singing, dancing, getting perspectives from visiting artists or our faculty and staff within the College of Fine Arts. My LLP also gives me people to have new experiences with; we are encouraged to go to the orchestra or a choir performance or dance recital together. Beyond the classroom, we gain interpersonal skills that prepare us for life after college.”

I love how convenient and close the residence halls are to everything on campus. Our residence halls have study rooms as well. So, if I want to change my environment, have a change of scenery, I can walk down the hall to a study room, bring some friends along and have our study group right there. They’re beautifully decorated and comfortable for us to enjoy. ”
