Residence Halls

On-campus students have the option to live in one of six traditional-style residence halls, or Whites Crossing, completed in 2016, offering private or suite-style apartments. Whichever you choose, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with roommates or suitemates and form the kind of friendships that living together at Chowan brings.

FAQs

You can request a roommate with the New Student Housing Application.

Students may live off-campus if they meet one of the following conditions: (1) married; (2) live in the community with their parents or grandparents; (3) over 23 years of age; or (4) a veteran of the United States military. A small percentage of junior and senior students are also allowed to live off campus after successful application.

Your room will have a bed, mattress, desk, chair, and is outfitted for wifi and cable TV with over 60 channels. Each building also has laundry facilities.

Chowan University recommends but does not require that each student has personal property insurance while living on campus.

Personal property insurance offers protection against accidental damage, liquid damage, cracked screens, spills, theft, and vandalism for your personal belongings — including laptops, tablets, smartphones, outdoor equipment, & textbooks.

Property owners will not be held liable for a resident’s personal property or any damage done to personal property while living on campus.
