Housing and Residence Life
Welcome to the Nest! We're excited you've decided to live with us and can't wait to see what this year has to offer. On this page, you'll find resources, tips and information that will help you settle in as you begin your new journey here at KSU.
The party doesn’t stop after Move-In! We've got incredible events lined up for you every day throughout the first week of classes. View the Week of Welcome page to see what’s happening on campus.
Have you enrolled in renter's insurance yet? If not, make sure you do so today! Housing and Residence Life has partnered with GradGuard to provide renter’s insurance to on-campus residents for $139 per year. Students can purchase coverage from GradGuard at any time through their website.
Though it's not mandatory, we highly recommend getting renter's insurance to protect your personal belongings, as KSU cannot be held responsible for any losses. Talk with your parents/families about adding yourself to their existing personal policies.
