Relocation Matters

Here are a few tips about housing:

On-campus Housing:  Information on on-campus housing for graduate students is on the “Campus Housing” Web site at http://www.uky.edu/Housing/.  Please select “Graduate & Family Housing” on the site navigation bar.  There are a limited number of UK grad student apartments available.  They are furnished and close to campus.  In addition, although you sign a one-year lease, you can be released from that lease with a 30-day written notice.  Please apply early if you’re interested.  They go first-come first-served and they are very popular.  

Apartments:  There are a great number of off-campus apartments in Lexington.  Most require a car although there are a few within walking distance.  Your best bet is to do a “Google” search for apartments in Lexington, KY and start surfing the apartment complex sites.  Our current students do strongly suggest that incoming IBS students check with them before signing a lease (a list of contacts is sent to incoming IBS students each spring).  Some areas of Lexington are better than others and some complexes are better than others.   

Buying a House:  Yes, it is still possible for graduate students to afford houses in Lexington!  To explore this option, please contact us for the names of real estate agents used by IBS students in the past.
