HELLO future Chanticleers – and those of you just beginning your college search!
We are Teal Trailblazers, and it’s our job to guide you on tours of the CCU campus.
We get tons of questions about student housing… like, “What are my choices?”
“Which residence hall is best?” “Which one do you live in?” Or how about this one…
“Do we get to see all the housing options?” That question is a stumper,
because we’re only able to showcase one model room during our tours. That’s what got us thinking
about doing this video for you. We’re about to take you inside each type of
residential community that CCU offers. As a first or second year student at Coastal,
you’re required to live on campus. And there’s a very good reason why.
Living on campus creates a solid foundation for your success as a Chanticleer.
According to research, students who live on campus have higher GPAs,
develop stronger connections to the University, and are better prepared for graduate school
or for their career of choice once they’ve completed their undergraduate studies.
Now, let’s get going! All first-year students live in one
of our residence halls on main campus. Each community offers Special Interest
housing options for those who share majors, interests, and goals – like Wall Street Business,
TEACH and Teal Traditions, just to name a few.
Eaglin and Ingle are centrally located near the academic core of campus, Hicks Dining Hall and the HTC Center
home to basketball, volleyball, our state-of-the-art fitness center and the Chanticleer book store.
Both Eaglin and Ingle offer single-, double-
and triple-occupancy rooms with shared bathrooms. Single suites also include a shared common area.
Like all of CCU’s housing options, Eaglin and Ingle
offer free laundry, WI-FI and cable.
The Woods, CCU’s original residence halls, is another popular option for first-year students.
This community features suite-style, single-occupancy spaces for students.
At the entrance to every suite is a common room including a kitchenette,
and beyond that is a shared bathroom and four individual bedrooms
giving The Woods residents extra privacy and a space to call their own.
Last, but definitely not least, are CCU’s newest housing options, including Teal Hall.
Living in one of these four halls is a great way to connect with other first-year students.
You’ll find incredible main lounges, and every RA community
has its own quiet study room and residential lounge.
Suites feature five double-occupancy bedrooms with a spacious shared bathroom
that University Housing sanitizes every other week.
If you’re a new transfer student or a prospective student wondering where you might live during your second year at Coastal,
you have two options. The Gardens community offers one-bedroom apartments
for two or three students. Each apartment in The Gardens has
a kitchen, living room and bathroom.
Also available for second-year students is University Place, or U-P as we call it.
It’s located just a half-mile from main campus.
UP is operated like other CCU residence halls, with professional and student staffing.
Students also have full access to all the amenities of main campus – like shuttle service,
food service and Public Safety. UP offers one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments
with full kitchens and living rooms, individual bathrooms, and walk-in closets.
Living in UP is an excellent transition between the residence halls of your first year
and what you might experience living off-campus during your third or fourth year.
There you have it: University Housing at Coastal Carolina University.
When applying for housing, incoming students have a wide range of choices
from lifestyle preferences and roommates to cost options and amenities.
We hope this sneak peek into each of our residence communities will help you choose
the housing option that is best suited for you. Chants Up!
