context_page_description: Over 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students live in campus housing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Forty residence halls are grouped into 16 residential communities across campus.
  The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the location of the first dormitory in the United States. Old East, built in 1795, is the university's oldest building and the nation's first university residence hall.
  UNC–Chapel Hill's residence halls are typically referred to by their geographical location on campus: northern, middle, and southern.
context_section_description: Parker
  Parker, located in the same named Parker Community, is a three-story building that was built in 1958.  Its three floors hold a total of 167 residents, including three Resident Advisors.  The residents have access to study rooms, kitchens, ice machines, a laundry room, a TV room, lounges and vending machines.
  It is named after John J. Parker who graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1907.  He was a successful lawyer and later became a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.  He attempted to run for governor later in life and was also nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court by President Herbert Hoover.  Neither of these, however, were successful endeavors.
  Avery
  Avery is a part of the Parker Community.  It was built in 1958 and is suite style with balcony access.  The building is four stories tall, contains 241 male and female residents and four Resident Advisors.  Avery's amenities include study rooms, kitchens, ice machines, a laundry room, a TV room, lounges, a basketball court and vending machines.
  Avery bears the name of William Waightstill Avery, the valedictorian of the class of 1837.  He was a lawyer and served in the State House of Commons as well as the State Senate.  In 1861 he was the Confederate Senator from North Carolina until he was killed in 1864 by a group of Union sympathizers.
  Teague
  Teague is the last of the residence halls in the Parker community.  It was also built in 1958 and like Parker, is only three stories tall.  It houses 171 residents and four Resident Advisors.  The rooms are arranged in a suite style with balcony access.  There are study rooms, kitchens, ice machines, a laundry room, a TV room, lounges, a basketball court, and vending machines for the residents to enjoy.  Teague is also where the Chinese Living-Learning Community is.  Residents participating in this program are given a chance to develop their lingual skills outside of the classroom as well as immerse themselves into the culture of Spanish-speaking countries.  Students will participate in both service and social activities that incorporate Spanish language and culture.
  Teague is named after Claude Edward Teague, the university's longtime business manager.  Trained as a lawyer, he received an undergraduate degree from UNC in 1912.  He became a high school principal and superintendent before serving in the army during World War I.  Upon his return he became the business manager of the North Carolina College for Women, now called the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  He moved to the University of North Carolina in 1943 until his retirement in 1957.
