What We Believe
The office of Residence Life at Kentucky State University oversees the operation of
all residence halls and coordinates all programs, services, and activities associated
with these facilities.
Residence Life encourages personal development through in-hall programs, academic
and social activities, and is responsible for ensuring that students have an atmosphere
conducive to learning. Students are encouraged and supported to assume responsibilities
that foster growth away from home.
Residence Life also ensures that the physical condition of the residence halls is
maintained at an optimal level and with safety and security measures.
Living on The Hill
Our core values are:
Learning
Development
Student Service
Diversity
Community Living
