Yes, NC State freshmen are required to live on campus during their first year.
Why On-Campus Living is Required for NC State Freshmen
Living on campus is considered an essential and integral part of the Wolfpack experience at NC State. This requirement ensures that new students are immersed in the university community from the outset.
By residing in University Housing, freshmen are positioned at the heart of the Wolfpack nation, which significantly enhances their ability to engage with and participate in all the opportunities NC State has to offer. This includes:
- Easy Access to Campus Resources: Proximity to academic buildings, libraries, dining halls, and student support services.
- Community Building: Opportunities to connect with peers, form study groups, and build lasting friendships.
- Engagement in Campus Life: Simplified access to student organizations, events, athletic activities, and cultural programs.
This policy is designed to support freshmen in their transition to university life, fostering a sense of belonging and making it easier for them to thrive academically and socially within the NC State environment.
