The majority of our students live on campus. Participating in the residential community on campus, while also working on campus, is a critical component to a WWC education. Students who live on campus have been shown to be more engaged in campus life, therefore contributing positively to their experience in college, identity development, and in most cases achieving higher GPAs.

Day Students do not have to pay Room & Board but are assessed a $500 fee per semester and billed per meal in campus dining facilities and/or may purchase flex dollars. (Note: During the COVID-19 pandemic, students who are remote-only are not assessed a fee.) Students must be approved for day student status and still must complete the housing application. There are a few situations in which we allow new students to live off campus and commute to classes – these exemptions and policy details are available in the housing application.

Complete the housing & meal plan form.

Meal Plan Options:

The cost listed below includes a standard, double-occupancy room. Note that North Carolina Sales Tax is charged on meal plans, per NC Statute – tax details are available in the application linked below.

• Enter your insurance information.
