SAINT LOUIS, MO / SENIOR
At UK, we recognize that it’s not only what you learn, but where you learn. We have invested $2.7 billion over the last decade to transform our campus into a state-of-the-art space that promotes deeper connection, comfort and learning. Take our Gatton Student Center, which has become a favorite gathering space for all of our students. Or our residence halls - all built within the last 15 years. UK is one of only eight universities in the nation that has agriculture, engineering, law, medicine and pharmacy on one contiguous campus. So, go. Discover what’s wildly possible.
“Attending UK was the best decision I’ve made. It’s a big school with a great fan base but can feel small. The faculty and staff are helpful and want their students to succeed. The University also provides a lot of opportunities for their students that will help them in their future endeavors.”
