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 can apply for on-campus housing. While University Housing cannot guarantee housing for transfer students, as space permits transfer students will be housed oncampus based on the date of their housing application. There are also many off-campus housing options for transfer students. Many are within a short walking distance to campus or easily accessible via AppalCART, the town’s public transportation system.
