On behalf of the entire Department of Residence Services I would like to welcome you to our Residence Services website.

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 education at Kent State University. We encourage you to use your time in university housing to participate in activities, develop new friendships, and learn more about yourself and others who live in your community.

Living on campus will provide you with many new freedoms and personal choices, e.g., decisions about when to sleep, study, eat, relax, etc. Responsibilities also accompany these freedoms. You will be expected to be considerate and respectful of other residents, to do your part to promote a safe and secure environment, and to commit yourself to your academic course work and other activities which promote learning.

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

Throughout this website we’ve tried to provide you with 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, Department of Residence Services
