Housing for freshmen Appalachian’s campus has 21 residence halls that house about 6,000 students. All new incoming freshmen are required* to live on campus for fall and spring semesters, because this is where you begin making friends and building community. All residence halls are smoke free. Some are co-ed and others are single sex. Special needs housing is also available. U.S. News & World Report ranks Appalachian as a Best College for Learning Communities. There are 19 on-campus Residential Learning Communities within our residence hall system, which focus on particular interests such as academic majors, the arts, green living, community service and other options.

Housing for transfer students Transfer students are encouraged to seek off-campus housing, and there are plenty of options. Many are within short walking distance of campus. Others are easily accessible via AppalCART, the town’s public transportation system. AppalCART buses run on a biodiesel mix, so your carbon footprint is small even when you can’t walk to class.
