Greensboro, North Carolina, is the epitome of a college town as it is home to two large universities – The University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University – and the thousands of students enrolled at each institution.
Two universities in one town mean double the number of students competing for off-campus housing options, making it even more challenging to find an apartment for the upcoming school year. To help sort through the options of on and off-campus housing and the benefits of each, here’s a rundown on dorms and housing options for the upcoming 2022 school year at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University.
The University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University each offer more than a dozen on-campus living options for students who prefer to live as part of the college community.
The University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University each offer more than a dozen on-campus options for students who want to live on campus.
Most of the housing options are dedicated to freshmen who benefit the most from living on-campus to help transition to college life. Still, both universities offer housing for upperclassmen to encourage students to continue living on campus beyond their first year. NC A&T State University also offers gender-specific housing for male and female first-year students, with one hall available for co-ed freshmen year housing.
Here are the residence halls and on-campus apartments available at The University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University for the upcoming school year:
Dorm and apartment costs at The University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University vary from $2,104 to $4,553 per semester.
Both the University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University offer traditional-style residence halls and university-managed on-campus apartments.
Traditional residence halls are dorms where students share communal bathrooms and other hall-specific amenities and may share a bedroom with another student. University apartments are similar to off-campus apartments, where students share a living room, kitchen, and bathroom with roommates but generally have a private bedroom. Students can expect to pay more for apartments than traditional housing since apartments offer more privacy than the communal amenities found in the dorms.

The University of North Carolina Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University encourage all students to consider living on-campus as space allows.
Research has shown that students who live on campus have higher grade point averages and do better academically than students who live off campus. Additional educational, recreational, and social activities are offered to students living in the residence halls that aren’t available to students living off-campus, such as Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) or major-specific academic and social programs like the arts, media, and sustainability-focused housing at UNC Greensboro. On-campus housing also tends to be less expensive than off-campus housing but has less privacy.
Neither the University of North Carolina Greensboro nor North Carolina A&T State University requires that students live on-campus, even for their first year.
Since there are no on-campus housing requirements, students of any year can opt to live off-campus in either student housing or a conventional apartment beginning with their freshman year. Students choosing to live off-campus should be prepared for the added cost of furniture, utilities, and meals, all of which are included in on-campus housing and meal plans.
Students who opt to live off-campus have a more incredible selection of housing, including both purpose-built student housing and traditional apartment complexes.
Purpose-built student housing communities offer individual lease agreements that align with the academic calendar, usually running mid-August through the end of July. An individual lease agreement means students are only responsible for their rent – not the rent for any roommates they may have. Individual lease agreements almost always require a guarantor – usually a parent or guardian – who provides some financial guarantee that the rent will be paid since most students do not have the credit or income to qualify on their own.
Traditional apartment complexes offer a joint-and-several lease agreement, where all roommates are on the same lease and are, therefore, jointly responsible for the monthly rent. These complexes are usually at a slightly lower cost than student housing. Still, students are financially liable for their roommates’ rent payments, and the lease terms do not always align with the university school schedule.
Spartan Crossing offers furnished and unfurnished one, two, and three-bedroom apartments designed explicitly for UNC Greensboro or NC A&T State University students.
Spartan Crossing is a student housing community located just west of the UNC Greensboro campus at 608 Granite St, Greensboro, NC 27403.
