UNC Greensboro Freshman Dorms 2026
UNCG does not require first-year students to live on campus, though 80% of freshmen choose to — apply early for the best shot at your preferred hall. Traditional first-year halls like Reynolds, Cone, Grogan, and Moore/Strong pair students in air-conditioned double rooms with community bathrooms, using loft-style Twin XL bed frames that adjust from 5 to 59 inches under the mattress. Fall 2026 move-in is staggered by hall from August 12 through 18, with Reynolds moving in first on the 12th and Cone last among these four on the 14th.
