New Student Orientation immediately welcomes you into the community and newly-renovated, fellowship-focused housing areas help deepen the bonds of friendship. The newly-renovated fitness center on the Kentucky Campus hosts a variety of exercise classes. In addition, we arrange 5k and 10k races for the community, intramural sports and programs to help students maintain a healthy lifestyle. All of these activities help you get to know other students, build bonds, and maintain a vibrant, healthy life.
