Special Interest Housing
Special interest housing is an opportunity for undergraduate students who share a common interest to live, learn, and grow together. There are signature residential learning experiences based on academics and thematic interests that help establish one-on-one relationships between faculty, staff, and students in a close-knit residence hall environment. More residence hall options are available to students who apply to and are accepted by special interest housing communities. In addition to any application required for special interest housing, students must also apply for housing.

ESports and Gaming
First Year Students, Limited spaces for selected upperclass students (SO, JR, SR)
Located in Grogan: Students who participate in the Esports and Gaming Living Learning Community should have an interest in esports or tabletop gaming. Students who select into the Esports and Gaming LLC will have an opportunity to live and learn together. Through our specialized events, programs, and faculty our students will be able to build connections with peers, faculty, and staff at UNCG. In addition to gaming and programs, we would have a faculty lecture series from UNCG faculty who study the impacts of gaming and the mind. We want to encourage students to reflect on the importance of sleep, hygiene, nutrition, hydration, movement and mental health when gaming. Lastly, students will have exclusive access to the classroom where we will have tabletop games, gaming PC’s, Xbox’s and other gaming consoles.
Health and Human Sciences
First Year Students, Limited spaces for selected upperclass students (SO, JR, SR)

Our students will easily be able to create study groups, have access to tutoring in the residence halls, enhance their academic skills, and will be able to explore topics and careers in the health and helping professions within their own residence hall. While gaining academic skills, our students will also gain personal and soft skills as they integrate into new spaces.
