University Housing

You can apply to University Housing once you have been accepted to NC State University. You will be sent an information packet informing you of all of your options for residence hall, including villages that are associated with the buildings. There are three main areas of campus:

Central: These residence halls are very centrally located. They are located right next to the free expression tunnel which is the pathway that will take you to the majority of your classes. Freshmen tend to live on central campus. Tucker and Owen house the First Year College Program students. Turlington houses the Arts Village and Alexander houses the Global Village. All of these buildings are hall style. Bowen, Metcalf and Carroll are all together known as the Tri-towers and they are suite style.

West: West Campus holds three residence halls: Bragaw, Lee and Sullivan. Sullivan is where the Scholars Village is and Lee is where Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) and Students Advocating for Youth (SAY) students are housed. Lee and Sullivan are both suite style and consist of mostly freshman and sophomores. Bragaw is in the shape of an X and hosts mostly sophomores, but all classes are welcome in all three buildings.

East: East Campus hosts the most residence halls out of all the campuses at NC State. These include Wood, Bagwell, Becton, Berry, Gold, Syme, Watauga, North, Welch, and Avent Ferry. Bagwell, Becton and Berry are a part of the quad-Bagwell is home to the University Honors Village. Avent Ferry is located on the corner of Avent Ferry and Western Blvd. North Hall is located on Hillsborough St. across from Caldwell academic building. Gold is an all male residence hall and Welch is an all female residence hall.

Campus Apartments: There are three campus apartment options: Wolf Village, Western Manor and E.S. King Village. Wolf Village is NC State’s on-campus apartments. You must be 20 in order to live in this area, so it is reserved mostly for juniors and seniors. It has entrances via campus on Sullivan Dr. and off campus via Gorman St. and Western Blvd. Each unit includes full-sized beds, two full bathrooms, a living room, kitchen with microwave, stove, and refrigerator, a washer/dryer, and ceiling fans. Western Manor is located off of Avent Ferry and is located across from Centennial Campus.

King Village is an apartment community that serves NC State's married, graduate and non-traditional undergraduate population. E.S. King Village is available to juniors, seniors, graduate students, students with families, post-doctoral students, visiting faculty and scholars.
