Live in the Residence Halls Again!
The residence halls on campus provide an ideal living experience for students who seek a more community-focused environment. Returning residents also have priority in choosing their spaces. Residents have direct access to dining service, academic programs and resources, on-site laundry facilities and leadership opportunities. Plus:
- Studies confirm that students who live in a residence hall at K-State experience greater academic success.
- Classes and other campus resources are all nearby.
- The halls are locked 24 hours a day, with resident-only key-card entry.
- Living among fellow students provides opportunities to develop lifelong friendships.
- View all the benefits of on-campus living.
