Typically students begin to search for apartments and houses around the North Carolina State campus only a month or so after arriving on campus in the fall. Many students are contacting landlords about three or four bedroom houses in September and October in the year before they're looking to move in.

If you're looking to find a place for you and a few friends, you'll want to get started in late September or October. If you're looking for a studio or a one-bedroom apartment, you can wait until you return for second semester.

  • Rum Runners
  • The Goat
  • The Bison
  • East Village
