UNCG UNC Greensboro Spartans Public Diverse Vibrant Friendly Inclusive

Established in 1891, the University of North Carolina Greensboro is the largest and most diverse university in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. Home to a challenging, supportive, and engaged community, UNC Greensboro aims to be a responsive, involved university focused on contributing solutions to the problems of our times. UNCG offers a range of programs granting undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degrees. Rooted in the liberal arts, UNCG also embraces sports, with the Spartans sports teams participating in the NCAA Division I Southern Conference.

Rental apartments, lofts, and townhomes populate the area surrounding UNC Greensboro’s campus. With so many options available, it may be helpful to focus on where you will be spending the bulk of your time on campus. Those frequenting the College of Visual and Performing Arts should seek accommodations convenient to the northeastern side of campus while those spending time in the Moore Humanities and Research Building would find housing near the south side of campus more favorable.

More than 200 student organizations, a campus golf course, intramural sports, and regular lecture series and events ensure there is always something going on at UNC Greensboro.
