The W.T. Young library opened in April of 1998 and serves the entire UK campus. The medical school library is conveniently located in the medical school, has over 176,000 volumes and 1,900 journals and can be accessed by computer. Over 2,700 audiovisual titles are also available. There is student housing on campus, but most students seek private housing, often within walking distance. Athletic facilities of every kind are within a five minute walk.
Computers are available.
There are two computer labs staffed with support personnel, one in the medical school and one across the street in the Health Sciences Learning Center. All entering students are required to purchase a personal computer system before matriculation. Many students do extramural clerkships to obtain clinical experiences in other institutions in the U.S. and abroad. No, a car is not necessary. Clinical rotations are offered by specific departments within the College of Medicine.
