Living in Kansas City
Kansas City offers the diversity and excitement of a large city with the charm and convenience of Midwest living. The city is constantly growing and evolving, with new restaurants, bars, shopping and events popping up each year. The city and its suburbs are divided into multiple districts, each with a unique vibe, such that anyone can find their niche. Travel is quick and easy, even during rush hour, and a streetcar carries passengers from destination to destination free-of-charge in the downtown region.
Our residents, fellows and faculty spend time together outside of work at the dog park and at favorite restaurants and breweries. We organize a team each year to run a 46-mile relay race and celebrate the past year at our annual spring department party. We love Kansas City and all it has to offer, and we hope you will too!
