About Off-Campus Housing Near Coastal Carolina University
Coastal Carolina University brings about 10,118 Chanticleers to Conway, a riverside town just inland from the Grand Strand in northeast South Carolina. Teal shows up everywhere here, and fall Saturdays revolve around football while the rest of campus life spreads across a flat, bike-friendly main quad. Downtown Conway sits along the Waccamaw River, where the Conway Riverwalk threads under cypress trees past Riverfront Park, a boat launch, and the city marina. Students drift between the historic downtown, with its hanging moss and Saturday markets, and the beaches of Myrtle Beach about a half hour east. Campus is compact enough to walk or bike, and the mix of small river town and big tourist coast means a quiet study week and a beach weekend both stay close.
Coastal Carolina University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Coastal Carolina requires both first and second year students to live in university housing, a rule that's been in place since 2010 to help retention. You're automatically exempt if you graduated high school more than two calendar years before enrolling, or if you'll live with a parent or legal guardian within 50 miles of campus. Other exemptions, like being married, having a dependent child, or being a veteran or active military, need a request form with documentation.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Most students move off after their sophomore year once the two-year requirement is met. The process around Conway is straightforward, with a standard application, credit check, and often a guarantor if you don't have income. The wrinkle here is volume, since CCU enrollment has surged and on-campus beds are tight, so purpose-built student complexes lease up fast.
