Residence is more than just a convenient place to live. It immerses you in the King’s experience: a true living and learning community.

Residence life is structured around FYP, encouraging you to think about and discuss the ideas from the texts you’re reading with classmates and friends. Learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. Like you, the president, the Dean of Students, and residence staff called dons all live on campus too. We live, learn and work together in an academic community.
