About Student Housing in Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill, NC is a college town of roughly 60,000 that grew up around the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the oldest public university in the country. Students are a huge slice of the population, so the town runs on a campus rhythm you feel walking down Franklin Street, the main drag along the north edge of campus. UNC anchors social and cultural life, from Tar Heel basketball at the Dean Smith Center to free public shows and lectures. Beyond campus you've got walkable districts like downtown Chapel Hill and neighboring Carrboro, plus quieter pockets such as Northside, Pine Knolls, and Southern Village. Green space is everywhere: the North Carolina Botanical Garden, Battle Park, and the wooded trails of Carolina North Forest.
