“I am able to meet my friends and classmates at any time. This could mean studying together, having meals together, or joining events. Not only does UNK Housing provide room accommodations, but also study rooms, game rooms, community kitchens, meal plans, large living rooms and more. These are great places to gather at. That’s my favorite part of living at UNK. ”
