Expanded Housing
Why Expanded Housing?
There is currently a higher than expected number of students requesting on-campus housing for August 2023. The spaces that were initially available have been filled through the housing sign-up process. Expanded Housing is available for students who have not yet selected a space to confirm that you want to live in KU Student Housing.
