Why Do EKU Students Love Living on Campus?

I love living on campus. I love that I am close to my work. I love that I am close to my clinicals being an elementary and major, and I also love that I am close to all my study spots on campus too, as well as the events.”

Chelsea Stephens, Elementary Education Senior

One thing that surprised me about living on campus definitely was all of the events and community builders that they had. I feel like living on campus definitely gave me access to go to those.

Emily Lawson, Elementary Education Sophomore
