When you’re involved with multiple student organizations like Dance Blue, University Leadership Summit and

K-crew, plus working towards medical school, how do you fi nd time to hone your golf game?

“I love to play golf,” Michael says. “Lexington has some great courses, and they’re very affordable.”

Seeing how he enjoys the outdoors, it’s no surprise that Michael’s favorite place on campus is the UK Arboretum – featuring a jogging path, lush landscaping and rolling hills. “I go there to run and relax; it’s always peaceful and a nice

spot to get away from it all.”

“The academics are strong, and there are a lot of resources on campus to help you succeed.”

“My engineering professors are friendly and

always accessible.”

Jeff Wei Lexington, KentuckyComputer Science

Sometimes you have to leave your hometown to really appreciate it.

“I thought I wanted to go away to college, so I tried it for a few years,” says Jeff. But in the end it wasn’t Lexington, and I decided to transfer to UK. People here are nice and friendly;

you lose some of that in a bigger city.”

The University offers plenty to keep students entertained when they’re not in class. And Jeff has a lot to do with that.

As a member of the Student Activities Board, he plans events and brings concerts to campus like hip-hop artist Drake.

“You’re not just in college to get a degree,” he says. “Being involved on campus is a big part of the experience.”

Coming to the University of Kentucky from Ohio, Anna Hays was excited to be a part of the wildcat

family, and some of her favorite memories are from her freshman year.

“The best thing you can do is meet as many people as you can,” says Anna.

One way to do that is through Greek life, according to Anna. “Being in a sorority extends beyond campus and into the Lexington community. It’s a chance to not only meet other students but also experience philanthropy that brings people together for the common good.”

Her future plans include a career in PR or eventplanning, and she’s well on her way thanks to a campus

internship at the Hillary J. Boone Center, where she works with the wedding coordinator and guests.

“It’s been an eye-opening experience,” she says. “UK has truly prepared me for the next part of my life.”

Most international students have a thirst for exploration and discovery. Shan Shan Li, a junior from China, is no

exception. She traveled halfway around the world to attend the University of Kentucky, and now wants to visit

another UK – as in United Kingdom.

“UK encourages its students to study abroad and prepare for the future,” she says. “I love America, but want to continue being well rounded and try something new.”

According to Shan Shan, UK staff and her peers have

gone out of their way to help make international students feel welcome at UK.

Through numerous student organizations and volunteer programs, she’s had the chance to give back to others in the community. “Helping people has been a life-changing

experience,” Shan Shan says.

Her most memorable experience so far, besides seeing snow for the fi rst time, she admits, is UK basketball. “The

fans here are crazy!” S

Welcome Home Veterans! The University of Kentucky is extremely proud of its long standing

relationship with the men and women in uniform that bravely serve this country. From its

founding as a Land Grant University in 1865, charged with teaching agriculture,

mechanics and military tactics, to its continuing production of leaders for the

Army and Air Force through the Reserve Offi cer Training Corp, UK has consistently contributed to the defense of freedom. It has

also consistently honored its veterans through such notable campus landmarks as the iconic Memorial

Hall and Memorial Coliseum.

The Veterans Resource Center was established to

continue that tradition of support by providing UK’s military and veteran populations with the

service and assistance they deserve. Our goal is to

ensure that your transition to college is as smooth as

possible. Whether you are entering college for the fi rst time, transferring from another school

or returning home from a deployment the Wildcat community welcomes you.

The Veterans Resource Center is located in room 124 of the W.D. Funkhouser Building across the hall from Admissions and is open daily M-F.

Lexington is the consummate college town, but it’s also so much more. Home to over 270,000 residents, it boasts an impressive combination of

cosmopolitan amenities and small town charm you won’t fi nd just anywhere.

With 400 magnifi cent horse farms surrounded by gently rolling hills and wood plank fencing, it’s easy

to see why this is the Horse Capital of the World. No wonder Lexington became the fi rst city outside of

Europe to host the World Equestrian Games, a 16-day international competition that attracts 400,000 visitors.

Tickets to the 2010 event were sold in all 50 states and in 40 countries.

As you transition into life as a UK student, you’ll discover that

Lexington offers a variety of outlets for students to get away from the hustle and bustle of

campus life.

Nothing gets your heart racing

like seeing the Thoroughbreds run at Keeneland, one

of America’s most beautiful tracks and a National Historic Landmark. College Day at Keeneland is

a semi-annual tradition when students enjoy free admission, t-shirts and have a chance at winning

$1,000 scholarships awarded throughout the day.

The Kentucky Horse Park, the world’s largest park devoted to the horse, features a museum,

working farm exhibits, theaters and over 50 breeds of horses set on 1,200 acres of lush

Bluegrass pastures.

A vibrant arts and culture scene are an important part of Central Kentucky. In fact, the historic Opera House, built in 1886, is one of the region’s premiere performing arts centers.

For a movie experience unlike anywhere else, visit the Kentucky Theatre, an art fi lm house that fi rst opened in 1922.

If you’re searching for live music, you don’t have to go far. UK hosts great bands on campus throughout

the year. Rupp Arena attracts a wide range of big-name rock concerts and top country acts. Plus, smaller downtown music venues feature an eclectic mix of local and regional artists.

When it comes to restaurants, Lexington really cooks.

From hot browns to burgoo, burgers to comfort food, you’ll fi nd something for every college student’s taste and

budget. And many restaurants are just steps from campus.

Fayette Mall, Kentucky’s largest, features over 120 stores including most national retailers. What’s more, an array of charming boutiques and one-of-a-kind local shops are right near campus.

After graduation, there’s really no reason to leave. That’s because Forbes magazine named Lexington 5th Best Place for Businesses and Careers. And according to Women’s Health, Lexington is the 8th best city for Quality of Life for Women.

see exhilaration.UK is best known for men’s basketball

and its seven national championships. (After all, where else do fans

camp out to get tickets to the fi rst practice?) The team plays

its games at Rupp Arena, in front of 24,000 passionate

fans. If you’ve never been to a game, it’s an atmosphere you

have to experience. Fortunately, that’s easy to do. Even though

basketball is one of the toughest tickets in town, all UK students have

access to affordable tickets through a student lottery system, and seats are

under $10 – not that you’ll be sitting.

Commonwealth Stadium, with 70,000 fans becomes Kentucky’s third largest city when

fi lled to capacity on gameday and is home to the Wildcat Football team. And while each game lasts a few hours, the tailgating and celebration

last all day. Blue body paint is optional; screaming and cheering are not.

If the athletic events don’t get your adrenaline pumping,

our cheerleaders will. That’s because the

UK cheerleading squad has won an unprecedented 18 national championships.

Lately, they’ve had a lot to

cheer about. Within the past few

years, most UK teams have won conference

championships, been ranked in the nation’s top 25 or

competed in the NCAA Tournament in their respective sports. When you’re a UK student, you become a Wildcat for life. No matter where you live after graduation, whether it’s in another state or even a different country, you will always be a “citizen” of Big Blue Nation.

how to apply.

Apply online!

Undergraduate admission at the University of Kentucky is designed to be consistent with the University’s mission of teaching, research

and public service. The University of Kentucky

seeks to enroll an academically talented

student body that enriches the learning community

and is representative of the diverse society in which

we live.

Selective Admission. The University of Kentucky

subscribes to a selective admission policy. A faculty

committee of the University Senate establishes the academic criteria. A holistic review is

based on factors including cumulative high school grade-point average, completion of

the pre-college curriculum, ACT or SAT I score results, essay questions (written interview),

and special talents and abilities. Enrollment in the freshman class is limited. The University of Kentucky receives many more freshman

applications than can be accommodated. Applicants are offered admission on a

competitive basis, with those meeting the University’s selective admission criteria

receiving fi rst offers. Remaining spaces in the class will be offered based on the strength of

the student’s record, potential for academic success, and the University’s enrollment goals.

Freshman Admission. To be eligible for consideration, students must complete high school and meet Kentucky’s pre-college

curriculum requirement. High school preparation is critically important to a student’s potential to succeed at UK, and it is given signifi cant consideration in the decision-making process. Total number of academic courses completed in high school, level of course work, number of Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, and senior year schedule can be important factors in admission decisions. The requirements listed under the Pre-College Curriculum are only minimum requirements. Most UK applicants will have taken course work that exceeds these minimums.

Advanced Standing (AP & IB). UK encourages you to pursue the highest level of scholastic course-work available through your high school. UK participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program offered through the College Board. Course credit is awarded for scores of 3 or better attained on any AP exam. The University of Kentucky also recognizes course credit earned through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program offered by high schools throughout the world. Generally, course credit is awarded for scores of 5, 6, or 7 on either the Standard Level exam or the Higher Level exam.

the primary focus of the Residence Life program is to support the educational mission of the university by supporting students in their academic and personal goals. the department does this by providing service to students in four major areas: (1) Helping maintain safe and secure living environments, (2) developing leadership and encouraging involvement both on and off campus,(3) Creating inclusive environments where all students feel supported and feel part of their community, and(4) Monitoring students’ academic progress and connecting them with out-of-classroom academic support and other resources.

safe and secure environmentsOne of the most important functions of the Residence Life office is providing for the safety and security of residents who live in undergraduate housing. the issue of safety and security is one that is constantly at the forefront of all of our activities, including:(1) Staffing: A reliable staffing structure has been developed to make sure that staff are always available, and that staff members always have back-up and support from supervisors.(2) training: both in fall training and throughout the academic year, staff members receive instruction on procedures related to safety issues and resources to help them respond to emergencies.

the office of Residence Life is responsible for hiring, training, and supervising the staff members who live in the residence halls, including Hall directors and Resident Advisors (R.A.s). We staff and manage 22 undergraduate residence halls, five greek Houses, and the Max Kade german House. the office of Residence Life employs over 300 professional and student staff members who play a key role in helping to shape the lives of all the students who live on campus.

(3) programming: Much of the department’s programming resources are dedicated to teaching students about safety and security issues on campus and beyond.(4) policy enforcement: enforcement includes conducting fire safety inspections, enforcing the visitation and escort policies, un-propping doors, and bringing students through the judicial process when they engage in acts that threaten the safety of themselves or others. it also includes monitoring the physical condition of the buildings and reporting any maintenance concerns that could pose a safety threat

leadership development and involvementAnother role of the office of Residence Life is to provide opportunities for students to be involved in leadership roles on campus. these leadership roles can include involvement in their residence hall government, the Resident Student Association (an umbrella organization for all residence hall governments), or National Residence Hall Honorary, involvement as officers in greek houses, or involvement in paid student positions such as Assistant Hall director, Senior R.A., Resident Advisor, Recycling Coordinator, or desk Clerk.

Residence Life also encourages involvement in the over 300 student organizations on campus. Residence Life staff members provide programs for students in

the residence halls that introduce them to different groups on campus and make them aware of all the different opportunities there are for involvement.

inclusive environmentsin order for all students to get the most out of their on-campus experience, everyone must feel welcome and included in the life of the campus. the university of Kentucky, including on-campus housing, becomes a much stronger educational environment the more there is involvement from students of all different backgrounds and experiences. the office of Residence Life’s commitment to contributing to this kind of vibrant, educational environment is expressed in the following statement:

Residence Life Commitment to Inclusionthe office of Residence Life is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion. A vital part of the mission of Residence Life is to create communities where our students and staff represent diverse characteristics and backgrounds and where all members feel included. the creation of such communities is essential to the personal growth of students and to their preparation for active, global citizenship. We believe students are most likely to succeed in an environment where everyone is welcome and involved. We give students the opportunity to work and live with people from different backgrounds, and in the process, we encourage them to learn from one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect. We seek to foster this atmosphere through our employment of staff members from diverse backgrounds.

support for academic successone of the greatest benefits of living in the residence halls is the opportunity for students to have a meaningful experience and interactions with one another outside of the classroom as a community of learners. every student and staff member in the residence halls should consider themselves to be part of an active learning community. in order to develop this community, every Residence Life staff member serves as a facilitator of learning by striving to:

• Create and maintain supportive learning environments which include ongoing educational opportunities and experiences.• Minimize the barriers to students’ academic success by providing easy and immediate access to important educational information and resources.• promote individual growth and a sense of belonging through the creation of inclusive communities.the office of Residence Life also partners with other academic and student affairs units on campus to provide specialized living learning communities as part of the Living Learning program. Living learning communities are designed to bring together students with similar interests, goals, and classes. At the university of Kentucky, there are many different specialized communities in the Living Learning program which allow student to live together, take classes together, and participate in shared programs and activities.
