The Wildcat community spans from students living on campus in our state-of-the-art residence halls to those who reside in our surrounding neighborhoods and counties.
The UK Off-Campus Resource Hub is a vital tool for assisting students in navigating the campus resources available to them. This hub ensures that our off-campus Wildcats make the most of their university experience while living off campus.
A two-hour break between classes doesn’t have to mean a two-hour trip home. The First Connect Lounge in McVey Hall, Room 100, is a space designed for students to study, recharge and spend time on campus.
Bring your laptop, meet up with classmates or just take a break. The space also includes a refrigerator, microwave and sink, making it easy to bring your lunch or snacks and stay on campus throughout the day.
Looking for another spot? Wildcat Study Zones offer additional spaces across campus for studying or taking a break.
We want to see you around campus! Check out information about upcoming events, parking, AND spaces you can just hang out in during the day. Information will be updated weekly.
Need to print assignments, notes or research? Ricoh Student Print solutions powered by PaperCut is available on campus to provide flexible printing. Costs are associated.
