Accommodation details

The university provides on-campus housing in residence halls and the students can take full advantage of the exciting academic, cultural, and social events right at the heart of campus. Students who live on campus are more likely to interact with professors outside of the classroom, attend cultural programs, and participate in clubs and organizations. Suite-style housing is the most common, featuring either two or four rooms (each with two students) in the suite, and the students share the suite bathroom. Smaller residence halls feature a more traditional corridor-style facility, with rooms on each side of the hallway, and students share a common bathroom. Each Carolina residence hall offers quiet study lounges, kitchens, vending areas, postal service, front desk services, local telephone lines, and easy access to computer labs and laundry facilities. All rooms are wired for the Internet and cable TV, and wireless networks are available in several residences. Rooms are typically shared by two students, come furnished with beds, dressers, desks, chairs, and window coverings. Many students bring their own televisions, microwaves, mini-refrigerators, stereos, and other electronics. The Residence halls are located along Stadium Drive and on the northern part of campus are just five minutes from most classes, libraries, Lenoir dining hall, and Franklin Street. Campus bus transportation is free to Carolina students and conveniently makes frequent stops throughout campus. All Carolina residence halls are now smoke-free. Substance-free rooms are also offered in residence halls throughout campus for students who want to live in a community where the use of substances, such as alcohol, is not permitted.
