Vanstory Hall Dorm Checklist 2026

North Carolina A&T

Single & double occupancy, Community bath

Verified Aug 21, 2026 · ncat.edu

Female freshman hall, 3 floors, opened 1966, named for a former Board of Trustees member. Offers both single and double rooms, but the university's own housing FAQ states new freshmen may only select a double room with a roommate — so incoming freshmen here should expect a double regardless of the floor plan. Its own page lists 230 residents; the general index page separately lists 115, a discrepancy resolved in favor of the hall's own Quick Facts page.
