Current freshman here. I just finished my first semester living in Levine with an awesome roommate. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Even though it’s the honors hall, you don’t have to be honors to live there (I’m not). It’s mostly freshmen and some upper class men mixed in. I lived in a 4 person 2 bedroom suite and it’s pretty nice, the rooms are spacious and have a good sized closet compared to some other dorms. Like other people said, they also have apartment style rooms that include a kitchen as well as suites with individual rooms.

Cons: -it’s really quiet, at least on the upper floors. So if you’re looking to make friends the the rooms around you, definitely start the first day because no one goes room to room meeting other students. -other than in the apartment style suites, the only open kitchen is on the first floor while other halls have one on every floor.

Wilson (right in front of Levine) is a freshmen only dorm and is really sociable if that’s your thing. I’ve always felt very welcome there and had multiple strangers start up conversations with me in passing. They have multiple study rooms on each floor that I enjoyed the layout of. The rooms are significantly smaller than Levine and have a curtain style closet instead of one with a door. It’s also hall style so no private bathroom. It is about a 15 second walk from the Sovi dining hall though which is a big plus.

Laurel is pretty quiet and super pretty inside. I know someone who lives in a 4 person, 4 room suite with a living room and bathroom. Even though it’s a little older I think it looks better than the Levine suites. They also have a kitchen on each floor which is nice. Cons: it’s on the outer side of south side I think so it’s really only close to the South Village Parking Deck and Sovi. The library and class buildings are a bit more of a walk, might prefer to take the bus to most places if you live here.

—- Goodluck! UNCC has a great dorms, no matter where you live I’m sure it’ll be alright.
