While Kishwaukee College does not have on-campus living, there are no restrictions on where students may live. Some students choose to live at home or in apartments with friends, while others choose University Plaza in DeKalb for a more traditional college residence hall living experience.
Kishwaukee College does not approve, endorse or recommend any off-campus facilities. However, there are several local databases offering information about local housing options.
Students considering residential options should also consider transportation needs. The College offers low-cost transportation options from both DeKalb and Rochelle. Students are encouraged to select an apartment on or near the bus route for a more convenient living experience.
NOTE: Financial Aid DOES NOT cover housing costs. However, under some financial aid programs, reimbursement checks may be used to cover costs of living.
