Supervision

Resident Staff (Dorm Director and Resident Assistants) oversee students with a staff to student ratio of 1:22.

Transportation

Students travel to and from classes and group activities by school bus and passenger van.

Dining

The housing fee includes 19 meals per week. Breakfasts and dinners take place in the KCAI Dining Hall located on the main floor of KCAI Living Center. Weekday lunches are made ahead of time and brought to KCB each day.

Floorplans

The newly remodeled dorm room set-ups include quadruple suites, a game room, fitness center, and lounges with TVs on each floor.  In addition to these amenities we also include wireless internet and free laundry facilities. No coins needed.

Laundry

The shared living environment requires students to be independent, considerate and responsible. Students are responsible for doing laundry and keeping their rooms and community spaces clean. KCAI offers free laundry facilities on site.

Safety

As part of a larger group, students must act with the community in mind and adhere to all policies set forth for the safety and well-being of everyone.

Group Outings

Group events are required for all dorm students and are included in the housing package. These outings include tickets, transportation, and some meals. Group events typically take place on weekends and in past years have included a Kansas City Royals baseball game, Starlight Theatre show, Sporting KC soccer match, Worlds of Fun Amusement Park, shopping at the Legends Outlets and more.

Coordinated Events

Optional activities are also provided by the Resident Staff during the program such as a scavenger hunt, movie nights, and a chat with college dancers.
