Get ready to make the most of your time with Carolina Housing!
Meet Our Interns
Rose Alade
Rose is a rising junior who has experienced life on both North and South Campus. Her involvement in multiple campus organizations showcases her vibrant campus life. Rose is a member of Carolina Housing’s Conference Services and Marketing Teams, works at the Cashier’s Office, serves as a Resident Advisor (RA), and is part of both the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) and Phi Alpha Delta. At our orientation sessions, Rose enjoys providing students and parents with the clarity they’ve been seeking all summer long regarding on-campus living.
Christina Ahn
Christina, also a rising junior, has spent her entire Carolina career living on South Campus. Like Rose, she is actively involved on campus, serving on Carolina Housing's Conference Services and Marketing Teams and working at the Cashier’s Office. Christina says her favorite part about living on campus is, “The people and the community that I have found within, and the experiences I’ve been able to have living in those communities.”
Tips for First-Year Students
At Carolina Housing’s orientation session, be sure to stop by our table to introduce yourself! Our interns love sharing their experiences and can help answer any questions you have about being a first-year student. Rose and Christina recommend putting yourself out there during the first week of school and attending all the events during Week of Welcome. You never know where you’ll meet your future best friend or roommate!
