BEAR FACT: Residence Halls offer 24/7 front desk operations and require card access to enter the building for safety and security. 6 unco.edu Your roommates At UNC, finding a great room and roommate is simple. We’ll send you an invitation to your BearMail account to join our Private Facebook Community. Once you join, you can chat and connect with fellow classmates who will also be living on campus. You may end up finding your ideal roommate through this private community. If so, you will receive instructions in your BearMail account on how to select your room via our online process. During this time, you and your roommate can assign yourselves to the same room. If you don’t find an ideal roommate through the private community, don’t stress. If you haven’t assigned yourself to a room during the online process, the Department of Housing and Residential Education will match you with a roommate based on your responses to the living preference questions in the room and board contract. Remember to apply before May 1 to get priority housing, and check your BearMail frequently for updates and notifications. To select your room in May, you must submit your room and board contract along with your housing deposit. Room styles — defined Suite Style – Single or double bedroom options, a common shared living room and a private bathroom, some with separate shower and toilet room within the suite. Apartment Style – Single or double bedroom options, a common shared living room, a private bathroom and kitchen within the suite. Community Style – Provides students with a more traditional style living option offering double rooms with community bathrooms and showers located on each floor. These halls also offer community TV/study lounges and kitchen areas. Plan your space From the moment the door opens, your room reflects your interests, style and vibe. Start thinking about your room (coordinate with your roommate to avoid duplicate items), and check your list against the guide at unco.edu/ housing/prospective/what_to_bring.html so you know what you can bring — and what you shouldn’t bring. Make yourself at home. 7 Find your community. Through Residential Learning Communities, UNC integrates academic and social learning into the residence halls for an engaging, enriched campus experience. Select a residential learning community that reflects your academic goals or interests. Majoring in biology? Choose the Biology academic community, where you can form a support network, join study groups and build on your academic experience by choosing to live with other biology students. Or, if you’re interested in global understanding, check out Ubuntu — an interest-based community that explores international experiences, cultures and food as well as study abroad opportunities. Transfer Community Connect with other transfer students, access campus resources, develop networking skills and seek assistance in major selection or other career advice. Leadership If you want to be a campus leader, involved in student government, clubs and organizations, or even participate in intramurals, this community will focus on developing your skills to support fellow students. Pet-Friendly* Going to college doesn’t necessarily mean leaving your favorite four-legged friend behind. Check out our pet-friendly community, one of the first to gain national interest for a pet-permitted campus community. Located in Lawrenson Hall, this community is limited to dogs and cats (along with other restrictions). Students are limited to one pet per bedroom and are required to either buy out their bedroom or have a roommate that agrees to the terms and conditions of living in this community. *Subject to change pending review of pilot program. 8 unco.edu Gender Inclusive This community allows students of different genders to live together in the same room. The gender inclusive housing option is ideal for students whose gender identification and/or gender expression varies from the binary gender paradigm, and for students who are uncomfortable living with a roommate of the same biological sex. Veterans and Military This community provides a supportive learning environment for our military/veteran students. Those who are current military or have previously served can request inclusion in this community and reside with individuals with similar experiences and interests.
