UNC Charlotte Dormitories

On the UNC Charlotte campus there are plenty of places to live on campus but it comes at a price.

Lets start with Freshmen housing:
Holshouser, Moore, Sanford, and Scott. They are also known as "highrises." These buildings are located at the front of the campus. The pros are the bedroom dimensions are 15'x10'. Great location near the C-store and dining hall. In Holshouser offer single rooms, if interested. The cons, there are community bathrooms, laundry facilities located in the basement (not very safe). These are considered traditional housing, basically housing that every incoming freshmen hates. Lack of space, old buildings, and elevator is slow.

The better and also more expensive:
Cedar, Cypress, Hawthorn, Hickory, Oak, Squires, Sycamore, and Witherspoon. These are the "Suite Style Living", this means it consist of a living area and bathroom. Most of them have community kitchens. It is on the other side of campus and it is close to classes and eatery. Cedar offers a short walking distance from classes. Cypress, is reserved for new students and most of the suites have single bedrooms. If you want privacy, Hawthorn is for you, it has nice furniture and con not say the same about the staff. Hickory is similar to Cedar Hall. Oak hall, you have greater access to Student Activity Center and classes. Squires Hall, nice fairly new (about 3 years old), they have multiple laundry facilities, and courtyard. There are apartments with one and half bathrooms. This is a great living space. Sycamore is similar to Cedar and Hickory, all three are next to on another. Witherspoon is the nicest on campus and also the most expensive. It houses the Honors and International students. It has its own computer lab.

The Apartments:
Hunt, Maple, Phase 3, Martin Village and Pine. Hunt is out in the middle of nowhere. If you are a Graduate or nontraditional student this where you live. Located in a wooded area and most people move out after one semester but it is the cheapest of all apartments. All these apartments are set up the same, four bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen. They all have very nice furniture, which was just placed in around two years ago.

Greek Village:
Currently being constructed. Unfortunately it is reserved for Greek organizations, so it will be better looking than all other housing on campus. This is disappointing because Greek organizations do not do enough on campus to get their on housing

I, personally stayed at Hunt Village for most of my time there, it is the least expensive the down side is that it is in the woods. the campus housing is very pricey and at times not worth living on campus. Summer housing cost makes Fall and Spring housing look like pocket change.
