University of Pikeville

What are the popular events and traditions at University of Pikeville?

Homecoming is a recurring opportunity for UPIKE students and alumni to gather around campus activities and Bears athletics. As at other universities, the events attached to a particular year's celebration can change, so students should use the current campus calendar rather than assume a fixed schedule.

Performances by university arts groups and other student-activities events provide additional ways to participate during the academic year. Applicants interested in a specific annual celebration or performance series should check recent event listings: a past event is evidence of a tradition only when it continues to be scheduled.

What are the student housing and dining options at University of Pikeville?

UPIKE offers college-operated undergraduate housing, including coeducational housing. Housing availability is not the same as a guaranteed assignment, and applicants should check the current residence-life rules for eligibility, application timing, deposits, room selection, and any first-year residency requirement.

Students comparing housing choices should ask which residence-hall or other campus options are open to their class year, whether a meal plan is required, and what each plan covers. Reported campus housing includes high-speed internet access. For students considering an off-campus lease, transportation, utilities, food costs, and the length of the lease can make an apparently cheaper room cost more over the year.

The university's published room-and-board figures provide a starting point for budgeting, but an individual housing and dining bill depends on the assigned space and selected plan. Students should compare those current charges with their financial aid offer before committing to a housing contract.
