Living Accommodations

HOUSING

Admission to the University does not obligate the
University to secure living accommodations for the
student, but at the student’s request everything possi-
ble will be done to assist him to find a place to live.

Housing accommodations at the University of Kansas
are provided through residence halls, fraternities and
sororities, cooperative houses, rooming houses and
private homes, and emergency housing projects.

Through the Committee on Student Living Condi-
tions, the University supervises the housing and the
health of students. Each year, under the direction of
the committee, a list of approved rooming houses for
women is prepared by the Adviser of Women and for
men by the University Housing Office. Members of
fraternities and sororities usually live in their chapter
houses.

Room rent ranges from $10 to $25 monthly per per-
son, depending on nearness to the campus and the
number of students in a room. The average will be
from $14 to $16. Rent in cooperative houses and
scholarship halls is much lower.

MEALS

Students who live in quarters where meals are not
provided will find that their needs can be met ade-
quately by boarding clubs or commercial restaurants
at hand in the student districts. The University Dining
Hall in the Memorial Union Building serves good food
at reasonable prices and in attractive surroundings.
Prices of meals will vary with individuals, but the
student should expect to pay from $1.00 to $1.50 a day
for his meals. (This figure is based on the cost of food
in early July, 1946, and may possibly increase by Sep-
tember.) The cost will be somewhat lower if he eats
in a cooperative club or a scholarship residence hall.

HOUSING FOR MEN

Complete information in regard to men’s housing
can be had upon application to the Housing Office,
Room 220, Frank Strong Hall. Every effort is made to
assist both single and married students.

RESIDENCE HALLS. Only one residence hall—
Battenfeld Hall—is being operated during 1946-47.

Applications for occupancy have been processed and
the hall is filled for the year.

COOPERATIVE HOUSES. One cooperative house
is being operated during 1946-47 by the K.U. Student
Housing Association. No vacancies are available for
the fall semester.
