Housing

What is housing like?

Watch the video »

Wake Forest guarantees housing for eight semesters to all undergraduates who are admitted as resident students. During the first year, roommates are assigned by the Office of Residence Life and Housing based upon a number of factors which indicate compatibility and common interests. After that, students choose their own roommate.



First- and second-year students are required to live in residence halls unless they live with family in the Winston-Salem area.

First-year students typically live in the South campus residence halls, which are a short walk to classrooms, the library, the post office and bank, food and convenience stores.

Residence halls are coeducational by floor. Students may also apply for substance-free housing (no smoking or alcohol is permitted), which is available on a limited basis.

All rooms are equipped with beds, closet, desks, cable television connection, computer outlets and a Microfridge. Laundry facilities are available in or near all residence halls.
