Residence Halls

“C-Mike, you know you like!”

Completed in 1986, Carmichael bears the name of Katherine Kennedy Carmichael, the first dean of women.  Last renovated in 2008, this six-floor, suite-style residence hall holds up to 485 students, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to make friends.  Invite your suitemates to watch your favorite show in the "fishbowl" – a meeting space and TV lounge – or enjoy late night pancakes with one of the 10 Resident Advisors.

Can't decide between north and south campus?  Carmichael is a happy medium.  Located at the heart of UNC's campus, this community is situated nearly equidistant from Lenoir Dining Hall and the Rams Head Center .

Football games in Kenan Memorial Stadium are just steps away. If you’re looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle, fear not – Carmichael is surrounded by the Student Rec Center gym, Belk Track, and Kessing outdoor pool.  

Looking for a single room Carmichael has over 50 singles available.  Enjoy all of the amenities this community has to offer, plus have a room to yourself. 

What Tar Heels are saying

My staff is great and is really dedicated to improving the lives of those who live here.  There is always something going on or music playing (not too loud, though!)”

Brittany, Carmichael Resident Advisor

“My favorite event was when the UNC men’s basketball team played in the Carrier Classic on Veteran’s Day. The projector screen was just put up in the ballroom, so we had a big viewing party. I remember sitting there with about 100 other Tar Heels and lots of food, just getting to know each other and enjoying the game. Now we have viewing parties for almost every game.”

– Brittany, Carmichael Resident Advisor
