On behalf of the entire Department of Residence Services I would like to welcome you to our Residence Services website. To your right is a comprehensive list of resources, designed to assist you in becoming the knowledgeable parent or guardian of a member of our residential community.

Residence Halls at Kent State University are more than just places to sleep. Out-of-classroom learning experiences will account for a significant amount of your students' experience at Kent State. We encourage students to use their time in university housing to participate in activities, develop new friendships, and learn more about themselves and others who live in their community.

Living on campus provides many new freedoms and personal choices, e.g., decisions about when to sleep, study, eat, relax, etc. Responsibilities also accompany these freedoms. Students are expected to be considerate and respectful of other residents, to do their part to promote a safe and secure environment, and to commit themselves to academic course work and other activities which promote learning.

Residence Services staff assist student residents in taking full advantage of all the resources the university offers. Whether first-year students or those pursuing graduate studies, we feel confident that we can offer a co-curricular environment that will enhance overall success during each students tenure at Kent State University.

Throughout this website we’ve tried to provide valuable information on life in the residence halls. Please use the links to view the various features and programs offered within our residence halls.

We look forward to seeing you during your next visit to campus. For campus tour information, please contact the Admissions Office directly at (330) 672-2444 or 1-800-988-KENT. If you have questions related to residence hall living, please do not hesitate to contact us at: (330) 672-7000 or 1-800-706-8941

Sincerely,
Betsy Joseph
Director, Dep't of Residence Services
