Enjoy morning jogs or evening strolls along the tree-lined sidewalks of your peaceful neighborhood. Explore the woods or head out to Johnson Lake and hike waterside paths. For a change of pace, cycle across campus to Hillsborough Street and join friends for a feast at David’s Dumpling and Noodle Bar or a spicy vindaloo at Kabab and Curry. Take the bus downtown and come face to face with dinosaurs at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, then encounter snakes, spiders and sloths on a visit to the Living Conservatory.

It’s a 20-minute walk to North Carolina State University from your new home and even faster by bike. When you want to explore the city, there’s a CAT bus stop just down the street, which will take you across Raleigh in no time. You’ll be so close to the Lonnie Poole Golf Course that you could almost complete all 18 holes on your lunch break!

Back at University Woods, the huge living space is the heart and soul of your home. There, you can hang out with housemates, cook together in the well-equipped kitchen and host movie nights with friends. For larger gatherings, chat with neighbors in the communal entertainment room. You can even relax in the sunroom, which some residents use as a dining area while others create a group study space.

With high-speed internet throughout the building, you can get the research done for your next assignment in no time or Skype your family whenever you feel like it. You’ll also have your own private phone line, which will come in handy if you want a long catch up with your friends after a great day at college. After class, curl up on your bed and watch your favorite shows on cable TV, then enjoy a long, lazy soak in the tub in your own ensuite bathroom.

Every bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet, so there will be more than enough room for all your clothes, plus there’s a full-size washer/dryer in your apartment so you won’t have to carry your load to the laundromat. There’s also a garbage disposal system and a dishwasher, so there won’t be any arguments about who cleans up and does the dishes after a dinner party.

The on-site maintenance team are on hand to help with any repairs, and you’ll sleep soundly thanks to the top-notch security: there’s CCTV and secure door entry for your peace of mind.
