The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
New Student Orientation 2026

A Chat with Carolina Housing and Off-Campus Student Life

On August 4, 2022, we sat down with Allan Blattner, Executive Director of Carolina Housing, and Aaron Bachenheimer, Ph.D., Executive Director of Off-Campus Student Life & Community Involvement. They helped families get the real scoop on what new and continuing students can expect when moving and living on or off-campus at UNC-Chapel Hill.
