Student housing at UNC is known as the Department of Housing and Residential Education and provides housing for more than 3,200 undergraduate and graduate students in traditional residence halls and apartment style facilities.
Services and programs assist students in transition to UNC, support their academic success and facilitate the development of life-long friendships. Students are encouraged to participate in activities, programs and leadership opportunities provided by staff and the Residence Hall Association. Numerous employment opportunities are also available to students within the residence halls.
Residence halls and apartments are located on Central and West Campus. The Central Campus residence halls are located on a beautiful, tree-lined area and include Belford, Decker, Gordon, Brown, Lujan, Dickeson, Bond, Hansen-Willis, Sabin, Snyder, Wiebking and Wilson halls. These halls house between 28 and 280 students. West Campus residence halls are located west of the University Center and house between 330 and 542 students per hall. These buildings include Harrison, Lawrenson, Turner, North and South Halls.
Many students enjoy the opportunity to live on theme floors including: business community, Cumbres, elementary education, honors, performing and visual arts, inner faith, Ubuntu (international community), English, Biota, leadership interest community and spectrum. These floors offer programs, activities and experiences centered around the respective theme.
Each residence hall is served by a twenty-four hour, staffed, customer service desk. In addition, professional and student staffs live in the halls and are available for assistance and support. Centrally located dining facilities are located on both sides of campus and provide air-conditioned dining as well as the convenience of Gourmet To Go and Bear On The Run take-out meals. Laundry facilities, study lounges, game rooms and television lobbies are also available for student use.
