Why live on campus?
KU student housing is conveniently located and offers the privacy and day-to-day amenities that all students crave in their transition to university life. Professional staff and resident assistants live in every housing community and are there to support your adjustment to KU. We’re happy to welcome you and the more than 5,000 Jayhawks who live on campus each year.

Campus dining
Meal plans
Living on campus and want unlimited dining? We can do that. Living off-campus and looking for more on-the-go offerings? That’s also possible. KU’s dining plans are flexible and designed to fit different schedules and budgets.
Dining locations
With over 20 dining locations on campus, you’re never far from a great meal or quick bite. KU’s food selection is as wide-ranging as our student body: campus originals and national franchises, smoothie bars and coffee shops, late-night spots and sit-down dining.
Dietary accommodations
All KU dining locations are equipped to accommodate specific dietary needs and preferences, including vegan and vegetarian. If you have a food allergy or need nutritional accommodations, contact a KU Dining representative at 785-864-2424.
