SKC student housing is very competitive and is currently limited with availability. Waitlist is over a year long depending on the type of housing requested. If you are thinking of attending SKC we recommend filling out a housing application even before you apply to attend to be placed on the housing waitlist.
Please visit our Off-campus Housing resource page for other housing options.

Lefthand Dorms
The SKC Lefthand Dorms are designed for single students who are looking to live close to campus in a safe, social community. They consist of 11 suite-style rooms, called Pods. Three or four students live in a Pod; each student shares a bathroom with one other roommate and some units have their own private bedroom.

Pods are fully furnished. Dorm rooms include an XL twin bed, wardrobe, desk and chair, and three-drawer dresser.
