About Old West Residence Hall

Old West Residence Hall is one of UNC's most historic buildings, the western half of the original double-building design that frames UNC's oldest campus quadrangle — paired with Old East, the oldest state university building in America (1793). Old West was built in 1823 and has served as a residence hall almost continuously since then, connecting students to more than two centuries of UNC history. Traditional corridor-style rooms with communal bathrooms, no air conditioning. Living in Old West is one of UNC's most distinctive and historically rich residential experiences.

Bathrooms here are communal, so you'll be carrying your things down the hall. Students here often pick up:

EUDELE Mesh Shower Caddy Portable for College Dorm Room Esse · $9.99 Shower Shoez – Quick-Dry Shower Flip Flops · $10–$16
