The past few weeks have been busy at Carolina Housing! From Housing Selection to exciting giveaways and lottery picks, there’s a lot of important information that students should be aware of. Here’s a recap:
Voice Into Action
Put your voice into action with the Voice Into Action Survey this week! The Voice Into Action campaign aims to create positive changes throughout on-campus living spaces driven by student input. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be found in your inbox and will close on November 27th at midnight. More information can be found here.
Students that complete the survey will be automatically entered to win one of three lottery picks as well as other fantastic prizes!

Pantry Bowl
Team up to fight food insecurity!
This year, as part of the annual Pantry Bowl, NC State and UNC Chapel Hill are facing off to reduce food insecurity on campus. During the week of November 19-26, the two universities will go head-to-head to see who can receive the most gifts to their respective food pantries. Last year, the Pantry Bowl raised $148,099.93 from over 2,235 monetary gifts, which was more than $60,000 than the competition’s first year!
It doesn’t stop there!
If the total number of monetary gifts exceeds UNC’s total from last year (1,107), Carolina Cupboard will receive $11,500 from Gary and Kathy Armstrong, Allison Friedman, and other generous Carolina supporters.
