Housing
Physics graduate students find a variety of housing options. Several categories of these are treated separately below.
Graduate Dormitory
The recently renovated Watauga
Hall is a conveniently located dormitory exclusively for graduate students.
Applications for admission to Watauga can be found through University
Housing.
Apartments
The majority of NCSU graduate physics students live in apartments - many
of which are reachable by walking or by riding on the free campus Wolfline
bus system. There are several ways to find apartments, including Raleigh
Apartments Today or the Apartment
Rental Guide. The major local newspaper, the Raleigh
News & Observer is also a source for apartments.
Married Student Housing
The university provides a village of apartments designed for married
students and their families. E.S.
King Village, which is directly adjacent to campus, provides a close-knit
community that graduate students with young families find particularly hospitable
and convenient.
Finding a Roommate
The are several means of finding a roommate. Incoming students who would
like to contact current and/or other incoming graduate physics
students can e-mail the graduate secretary
who will then contact all physics graduate students
through a listserve to see if a match can be made. Chinese graduate
students often find it helpful - if they wish to room with a
compatriot - to contact the Chinese
Student and Scholars Friendship Association.
