WELCOME TO RESIDENTIAL LIFE AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI - KANSAS CITY
Student housing at UMKC is about more than just offering you a place to eat and sleep - it's about your total educational experience. Whether it’s continuing a classroom discussion over pizza, or attending a discussion with faculty outside of class, we know that having a home away from home is important. Residence Life offers you a place where you can hang out with friends, learn about others and most importantly, learn about yourself.
That's why all housing is conveniently located on the west side of campus, near the University Center (and cafeteria), Swinney Recreation Center, and within easy walking distance to all other Volker campus buildings. Nearby are the Country Club Plaza and museums, and other local attractions. Downtown Kansas City, Mo., is approximately 10 minutes away by automobile (or bus).
LIVING AT UMKC
Residential Life at UMKC is excited to offer three different living experiences for our students. Students can choose to live in a traditional residence hall (Cherry), a suite style residence hall (Oak Hall) and new in 2008 are the Oak Place Apartments. Each location offers programs by Residential Life geared to assist each student to achieve their goals at UMKC. Through connections with other campus services, students will have UMKC resources at their fingertips. We welcome you to become part of our vibrant campus community.
CHERRY STREET II THE SEQUEL IS COMING!
