Campus Life

The main campus of NC State is located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Raleigh Campus has three sub-campuses divided into the Central Campus, South Campus, and North Campus. The campuses are separated by the legendary North Carolina Railroad. The campus has more than 75 research laboratories, the Hill Library, and the award-winning James B. Hunt Jr. Library. 

The Witherspoon Student Centre houses the African American Cultural Centre. NC State is known for its esteemed student traditions, including the Krispy Kreme Challenge. The university supports student housing as freshmen are required to live on campus. NC State has several residence halls equipped with state-of-the-art technology and basic amenities. It also has several residence communities, the Living and Learning Villages.

On-Campus Accommodation

 

In close proximity to friends, dining options, and recreational amenities, University Housing offers a wide range of on-campus housing options.

 

Residence Halls

 

Residence halls are close to academic facilities, campus amenities, and leisure activities. The NC State dining halls, regarded as some of the best in the nation, are just a short stroll away. The true college experience includes everything from meeting new people over a game of pool to taking a break in the study area to organising a movie night with your neighbours.

There are 20 housing halls on campus where you can live. The Living and Learning Village residents may have exclusive access to certain structures. Choices below:

 

Hall-style Buildings

 

In a conventional hall-style building, the room opens to a corridor connecting to the rest of the floor and has one or more communal bathrooms accessible to all floor inhabitants. Most halls are coed but have sections for each gender. The housekeeping crew daily cleans the communal bathrooms, stairwells, and hallways. These areas are less private than suite-style structures because each room opens to a long hallway.
