Guest Housing

The UNK Office of Residence provides housing to students visiting UNK from other institutions throughout the year. Guest housing is an ideal option for students from other colleges and universities who may be completing internships or clinical experiences in the Kearney area.  The accommodations depend on the length of stay and the time of year.  We frequently use our Centennial Towers for guest housing which includes a private room with a shared shower.
