Most undergraduates live on campus, either in residence halls, townhouses, or student apartments. From these rooms it is just a short walk or bike ride to classrooms, the library, the post office and bank, food and recreation, the laundromat, or a friend's suite. Whether students live in a residence hall around the tree-lined Quad, or on North or South Campus, they are always close to the heart of activities. Most residence halls are coeducational by floor, but there is one single-gender hall for females. All rooms are equipped with beds, closet, desks, cable television connection and computer outlets.
Laundry facilities are available in or near all residence halls.
Other services are available in nearby shopping centers. Wake Forest guarantees housing for eight semesters at the University for all undergraduates who are admitted as resident students. During the first year, roommates are assigned by the Office of Residence Life and Housing based upon a number of factors which indicate compatibility and common interests. While it is generally the practice of the University to make these assignments in pairs and in double rooms, some single rooms will be assigned and some students may be assigned more than one roommate in a triple room. Wake Forest is a cultural community where the arts are active and stimulating.
