Residential Life

You can expect more than just a place to relax in between classes or catch up on sleep – living here is an opportunity to engage others, learn in the community, and thrive in downtown Raleigh.

That’s why we have a three-year residency requirement. Learning and living in a diverse community of peers on campus is a transformative experience that will prepare you for a successful career and life.

We have five on-campus residential halls and one off-campus residence. All housing includes:

  • Double bedrooms with suite-style bathrooms
  • Single rooms available in some halls
  • Common areas
  • Free basic cable
  • Wired & wireless internet access
  • Free laundry
  • Resident Assistants are assigned to each hall to assist students.

Village Green Apartments

Village Green Apartments provides students with a true apartment-style living experience. Located 3.4 miles from campus, Village Green residents have quick access to campus and the downtown community.
