Traditional Residence Halls- Typically First Year Students

Perfect for new, first-year students to make connections with other freshmen who are just embarking on their college career, traditional-style housing is also the most affordable of all of the housing options. The building layouts offer double-occupancy rooms located on both sides of a corridor with community bathrooms that serve the floor. It’s the best place to live to meet new friends.

Suites –For Upperclass Residents

As students become familiar with college life, they begin to prefer more spacious, contemporary accommodations and more privacy. They still require easy access to campus services, the support of staff and the security campus housing provides. Although suites vary in their specific amenities, residents enjoy semi-private bathrooms, beautiful common areas, and outstanding amenities. Looking for outstanding amenities? The suites have them. Upgrades are everywhere you look.

Apartments – For Upperclass & Graduate Residents

The apartments offer the independence that upperclassmen generally prefer, along with the benefits and convenience that come with living on campus. Students have the opportunity to easily join in UNCG activities or to step away to enjoy their privacy. Apartment residents pay only for August-May on their university accounts. They can also stay for holidays, and fall and spring semester breaks.

Residence Halls By Location

There are five distinct areas where the residence halls are located, each with benefits based on proximity to different parts of campus. Take a look below to see which area fits your needs. The individual residence halls in each area are also listed.

Cone, Grogan, and Reynolds make up a cluster of residence halls known as the “high rises.” The location of these halls provides easy access to walking trails through the wooded areas of campus, as well as to College Avenue and the Gray Drive, where all of the other traditional residence halls are located.
