There's nothing like living on campus at Carolina!
With the right investment and engagement, living on campus can change your life! While living in the residence halls, you will never again be closer to the heart of the Carolina experience. There will be countless opportunities for collaborations on classroom projects, enthralling conversations on world issues, and social connections with Tar Heels from across the globe.

Living on campus can be one of the best ways to meet some of the best people ever.
All first year students must live on campus and 45% of the student body
lives on campus overall. First year students aren't allowed to have a car
on campus, so if you're going to be stranded, it's best to be stranded with
people that you get along with.

Ben Clary (Junior Environmental Studies Major): "I lived in Ehringhaus and Parker. I definitely had some rough times with housing at UNC. I had some issues with my first roommate but my Residential Advisor did a great job of handling the situation. However, I have very fond memories of the people that I met and the relationships I made with them. I made some of my best friends due to campus housing and the convenience is something that I always loved. I would say it is definitely an important part of college to have the experience of living with a roommate."
Robert West (Junior Statistics and Analytics Major): "I've lived in Ehringhaus, Joyner, and Connor. I had some of the best experiences of my life because of housing. There are always things like not getting to control the AC in North Campus dorms or the occasional rude suitemate that can be really annoying, but they don't compare to the friends that you will meet in your time on campus. I strongly recommend living on South Campus for your first year to meet a lot of people in the same boat as you."
