WILDLY POWERFUL COMMUNITY: LIVING ON CAMPUS

uky.edu/housing Some of the best memories of college come from living on campus. Friends are made every day in a residence hall, on a walk to class, or over a delicious meal.

Living on Campus Helps You Make the Grade... and Graduate on Time

Living on campus has a positive impact on a student’s retention rate. Students are more likely to return for their second year at UK if they live on campus and have an even better retention rate if they participate in a Living Learning Program. We know that Wildcats are happier, more successful, and more involved when they live in a residence hall. First fall GPAs for students living on campus average 3.07, 0.36 higher than students living off campus.

Living Learning Program — Classrooms Right Outside Your Door

go.uky.edu/llp UK provides a residential academic experience through the Living Learning Program. In all of these communities, students can live with other students who share like-minded interests or similar academic majors. Each community participates in a connected course where LLP members challenge and support one another in a classroom environment. Additionally, each LLP provides unique experiences that include building relationships with faculty, off-campus trips and volunteer opportunities, and careerrelated experiential education. Space is limited for specific communities, so be sure to keep track of application deadlines. • Belle C.
