NC Wesleyan is more than an education… it’s an experience! Your time spent at Wesleyan extends far beyond just academics- it’s also the experiences and friendships you form outside the classroom. Whether you live on campus or commute, you are part of the Bishop Family. Our lifestyle is all about getting connected and getting involved.
NCWU has 8 residence halls (one that’s pet-friendly!) and 16 townhouses. The residence life program aims to cultivate an environment that is conducive to academic success by providing an atmosphere where students will learn to respect and appreciate differences, develop and exhibit leadership skills, and contribute significantly to the wider society.

Off-Campus Housing Requirements:
In order to have the full educational experience while attending Wesleyan, all full-time students must live in the residence halls and maintain a residential meal plan. If you want to live off-campus, you must make an official request and meet one of the following criteria:

Requests made after the beginning of the fall semester will not be considered (except for new students arriving in the spring semester).
