About Off-Campus Housing Near High Point University
High Point University is home to about 5,600 Panthers in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina, between Greensboro and Winston-Salem. The campus is famously polished and walkable, and most of student life happens within its gates, but the city has its own pull. Downtown and the Uptown district have been redeveloping, and the city is known worldwide for its twice-yearly furniture showcase that briefly turns the whole town into a global trade hub. The terrain is flat and easy for biking, the Piedmont Area Transit bus runs through town, and tree-lined neighborhoods like Emerywood sit just past campus. Greensboro and Winston-Salem are both a short drive away when you want concerts or a change of scenery, so the wider Triad really functions as your backyard.
High Point University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
High Point University requires undergraduates to live on campus until they reach senior status, defined as 96 completed credit hours, which for most students means living on campus through junior year. Everyone has to reapply and be approved for commuter or off-campus status each academic year, so it is not a one-and-done sign-off. The requirement keeps the great majority of underclassmen in university housing.
Off-Campus Eligibility
You can get out earlier if you commute from a parent or guardian's permanent home in North Carolina or within 50 miles of campus. HPU also requires that any off-campus address be more than one mile from the nearest university welcome gate, which rules out the closest blocks. Once you qualify, the local rental process is standard for the Triad, with an application, deposit, and proof of income or a co-signer.
