About Student Housing in Wilmington
Wilmington, North Carolina is a coastal port city where the college scene meets the beach, anchored by the University of North Carolina Wilmington and its Seahawks. UNCW sits a short drive from the Atlantic, so the student experience comes with sand in the car mats and a laid-back coastal pace. The historic downtown along the Cape Fear River is the centerpiece, with brick streets, a riverwalk, and a 4th Street corridor full of student energy. The Midtown corridor links campus to the rest of the city, while the east side runs toward Wrightsville Beach and the area's marshes and sounds. Public green space is everywhere, from the riverfront to coastal trails, and the film industry has long given Wilmington a creative streak.
