Community colleges across Kansas have seen dorms filling up weeks before classes start. In the southwest part of the state, for example, on-campus housing was at capacity several weeks ahead of orientation. Students who live far from their schools say living on campus is a good way to meet people and integrate into college life.

The Kansas Promise Scholarship will pay the cost of tuition, fees and books for students in dozens of programs at Johnson County Community College and Kansas City, Kansas Community College.

Three area community colleges see changes in enrollment for the fall semester. Each has complex considerations in making decisions for its students and staff.
