<p>Each year housing numbers change significantly. Any incoming first year student is guaranteed housing on campus if they pay both the enrollment deposit of $100 and the housing deposit of $105 by May 1st. There have been years in the past where more first year students request on campus housing than we have rooms for. In this instance UNCW will allow the RA’s to have roommates and some of our largest rooms will be switched from a double room to a triple to accommodate each request.</p>
<p>This time of the year as UNCW approaches the end of a semester we see students leaving to study abroad, transfer or leaving for an exchange program. This often times opens up new rooms or beds where students could be moved to if they are in a triple room.</p>
<p>This year approximately 95% of our first year students chose to live on campus. UNCW has one all female residence hall (Belk) and the others are all co-ed. Co-ed residence halls are split by ends of the halls, by actual halls or sometimes by sides of the halls by male/female- only students of the same sex reside in a room together. While we can not predict the amount of male/female students living on campus for this next year, I can say that the male/female ratio for 2011 was 41%/59%.</p>
<p>shadow1: I hope you find this information useful. Since students are changing in housing areas each semester it is difficult for me to give you hard numbers. Please let me know if you have any other questions: <a href=“mailto:admissions@uncw.edu”>admissions@uncw.edu</a></p>
