Living on Campus

More than a dozen residence halls, student apartments, and houses mean on-campus living can be as varied as you’d like throughout your years at Wake.

Outside the Classroom

Your experience at Wake Forest extends beyond the classroom with resources to help you reach your full potential, through wellbeing, personal and career development.

Campus Dining

Dining on campus is about more than the food, but you’ll enjoy that too! Friends, classmates, and professors gather together in our dining halls spread throughout campus.

Arts & Culture

You’ll find dance recitals, faculty-directed plays and musicals, as well as student-written and -directed productions, and several guest performances each year.

Athletics & Recreation

The smallest school in the Atlantic Coast Conference — or any of the NCAA’s top five conferences, for that matter — has the biggest heart. And most of our students participate in intramural sports, ranging from basketball to inner tube water polo.

Diversity & Inclusion

The Office of Diversity & Inclusion and the Intercultural Center foster a campus community that assures our increasingly diverse population receives equitable treatment.
