Live and Study on One Residential Campus
A dream campus is about more than a beautiful setting. It’s about the convenience of living on one residential campus where friendly people, exciting events, and incredible opportunities are always just a short walk away. Over 45% of all enrolled undergraduates live on campus close to classes, libraries, dining, campus events, the Student Union, the Pit, and Franklin Street
As a Carolina student, you’ll live and learn on an idyllic campus like no other:
- Live next door to cutting-edge technologies and resources such as our new, $205-million Caudill Laboratories, the FedEx Global Education Center, the Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence, and the Sonja B. Stone Center for Black Culture and History.
- Enjoy modern recreational and dining comforts within our award-winning Rams Head Center, which features brick walkways, a food court, a two-story recreation center, and a full-service grocery store.
- Connect with some of the smartest smartest and most diverse students in the world by taking part in your choice of more than 600 student organizations and 60 intramural sports
- Cheer on the Tar Heels at the Dean Smith Center—affectionately known as the Dean Dome
- Applaud performances at the Paul Green Theater or Memorial Hall or study art at the Ackland Museum
- Enjoy reliable and fare-free public transportation to take you where you need to go day or night
- Experience the restaurants, clubs, bookstores, theaters, coffee houses, music, and street-fair ambience of historic Franklin Street, which borders our campus
“The pace of student activity is so rapid
and there are so many shared public
spaces and interconnected communities
that Carolina feels like a small campus.
Walking from the Student Union,
through the Pit and up Polk Place, it’s
impossible not to be interrupted by
three or four impromptu conversations
with familiar faces.”
