Kernel Hosts Housing Fair

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 20, 2011) — The Kentucky Kernel will host its second annual Housing Fair 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, in the University of Kentucky Student Center's Frank Harris Grand Ballroom. Information from all of the major apartment complexes close to campus will be provided. There will also be door prizes, including an iPad and a Kindle Fire, as well as giveaways, including restaurant gift certificates.

The fair coincides with publication of the Kernel's yearly housing guide, which offers tips and ideas for students who are just moving off campus or simply looking for a new place to live.

"If you're new to off-campus housing, or looking for a new place to live, the Kernel Housing Fair is one-stop shopping for all the information you'll need," said Hannah Schwartz, student advertising manager at the Kernel. "It's a great opportunity to ask lots of questions and compare apartments. There's no other place where you can reach so many apartment managers at once."

In addition to apartment representatives, the Kernel will offer information about its new website, myukapartment.com, which offers tips about housing and information about many of the apartment complexes around UK's campus. A Kernel representative will be there to give students a preview of the site.
