Housing and Residential Education
Who are we
The Department of Housing & Residential Education provides housing for more than 3,078 undergraduate and graduate students in traditional residence halls and apartments.
At the core of what we do
We offer services and programs that assist students in their 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 with work study within the residence halls.
Residence hall facilities
Residence halls are located on both Central and West campuses. The Central Campus residence halls are located within a beautiful tree-lined area and include Belford, Bond, Brown, Dickeson, Gordon, Hansen-Willis, Lujάn, 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.
Living on campus is part of the learning experience

The Academic-Based Communities include: Biology, Criminal Justice, Cumbres, Elementary Education, Honors, Monfort College of Business, Performing & Visual Arts, and Pre-Nursing. These floors offer programs, activities and experiences centered around the respective theme.
Services
All residence halls have a designated front desk with a staffed 24-hour 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.
