Accompanied by fellow Jayhawks from all walks of life, KU students live every day with enthusiasm and spirit, whether on or off the Hill. As roommates, classmates, and teammates, Jayhawks support each other, creating connections and memories along the way.

Residence halls

Atop Daisy Hill and in the historical corners of campus, KU’s variety of residence halls provide quintessential — but by no means typical — campus living.

Scholarship halls

A University of Kansas tradition (and innovation), scholarship halls offer a tight-knit community and a lower total cost of living to residents who pitch in and help out.

Clubs and organizations

By joining any of over 600 campus organizations found on the Rock Chalk Central database, including active sororities and fraternities, you can celebrate your interests and identities with fellow Jayhawks.

Wellness and safety

You’ll turn to Watkins Health Services, Counseling & Psychological Services, and KU Recreation Services to maintain your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Lawrence

The city that surrounds KU’s campus typifies an American college town, complete with culture and cuisine, easy-to-access essentials, and a major metropolitan area just a short drive away.
