Apartments near UNC-Chapel Hill have many benefits over on campus housing. Residents in off campus housing can live a more independent lifestyle, as on campus housing typically requires students to frequently check in with their resident assistants (RAs) and abide by other strict rules. Not only do residents of off campus housing not have to deal with these restrictions, but they can enjoy a long list of on-site amenities, as well as a premier location close to shopping, dining, and entertainment hotspots.
