Lodging
We have a limited number of on-campus rooms in the Avent Ferry Complex (AFC) that we will reserve upon request. These rooms are free of charge for interested applicants. If you choose to stay in an on-campus room ground transportation will be provided to various locations.
You also have the option to stay with a current student host.
Hosts are current students in the program who have agreed to open their homes to give prospective students an insider’s view of NCSU and the Higher Education program, as well as a place to sleep and ground transportation around the Triangle area. Hosts will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so please indicate on the information sheet if you would like to be hosted by a current student.
