Housing

All newly admitted students with less than 20 college credit hours earned after high school graduation (or equivalent), who are under 21 and not living with their legal guardian in the local area must live in UNC's housing system through the completion of the first academic year of their attendance. First-year students wishing to live off campus may request an exemption.

• International students are allowed to live in any hall on campus. However, there are several options available that may be of interest to international students.
• Living on campus allows you to build a support system of peers and get involved, and it’s a big factor in a first-year student’s success.
• UNC provides plenty of great housing options, including traditional residence hall rooms, suites, apartments and houses.
• On-campus housing is just a short walk away from classes, labs and libraries.
• You will have easy access to University Center events, the Campus Recreation Center and a variety of dining options.
