Living On Campus
90% of first year students live on campus and it's no wonder why - with residence halls in the heart of North Campus, you're just steps away from dining, classrooms, and campus life.
Whether you choose to live in a traditional dorm room (WCU Managed Housing) or a suite-style room (USH Affiliated Housing), you'll literally live in the middle of everything.
The 2025-26 first year and transfer student housing application will open in March 2025
