Note that there may be changes to housing arrangements and meal plan options as we finalize health and safety preparations to guard against the Coronavirus pandemic.

Select your Residency

The majority of our students live on campus. Participating in the residential community on campus, while also working on campus, is a critical component to a WWC education. Students who live on campus have been shown to be more engaged in campus life, therefore contributing positively to their experience in college, identity development, and in most cases achieving higher GPAs.

There are a few situations in which we allow new students to live off campus and commute to classes – these exemptions and policy details are available in the application linked below. Day Students do not have to pay Room & Board but are assessed a $500 fee per semester and billed per meal in campus dining facilities and/or may purchase flex dollars.

Select a Meal Plan

The cost listed below includes a standard, double-occupancy room. Note that North Carolina Sales Tax is charged on meal plans, per NC Statute – tax details are available in the application linked below.

Complete Your Application

Once you’re ready, complete your Housing & Meal Plan application online.

Residence Life

Warren Wilson offers a variety of different living arrangements for new students, including some interesting themed communities within the residence halls. Learn more about residence life and themed housing, and find out about our residence halls.

The Office of Residence Life supports your on-campus living experience. Our crew of Area Coordinators and Resident Assistants (RAs) provide support, programming, and events. Programs and events are designed to help you get to know others on your floor and in your building and to gain new skills and perspectives.

Your Roommate & Housing Assignment

As a new student, you’re assigned a room and roommate based on your responses to the Room Selection Survey. The survey will ask you about your habits, preferences, interests, and lifestyle. We make every effort to honor your preferences and place you in an environment where you’ll thrive, but living in community will involve compromise at times. Transfer students have the option of residing in a group of rooms together.

Renter’s Insurance

We highly recommend that all students cover their belongings with a renter’s insurance policy. Some parents may be able to claim their students belongings while at college on their homeowners insurance policies as well.

Residence Life Q&A

In this recorded Google Meet with accepted students, the Residence Life and Housing Team discuss WWC Student Housing & Residence Life 101, from how residence halls and roommates are selected to which pet pals you are able to bring with you to college.

Room Selection Survey

When you’re ready, fill out your Room Selection Survey.

At Warren Wilson College, we use placement tests to help determine the best level for you to begin your academic coursework. These tests are used to measure where you are right now. It’s important you take them seriously, but don’t feel pressure to study or prepare too much. Basically, we want a snapshot of where you are, so we know where you should start.

This course is a key component of Warren Wilson’s first year experience and provides an opportunity for students to be introduced to our faculty, our academic expectations, our community engagement opportunities, and each other in small, seminar-style courses.

If you are a transfer student you will not be taking a First Year Seminar. If you are a first year student arriving with more than 24 credits (about 8 college classes), you may opt out of taking a First Year Seminar Class. You should explore this option with your Integrated Advising Coach before making a decision.

The Group Advising Sessions will help you learn how to look for classes and how to navigate the overall process of developing a schedule. In your 1-on-1 appointment with your IA Coach, you will discuss your interests and goals, further discuss specific classes together, develop some sample schedules, and you will then be ready to register. The earlier you join the group sessions and schedule an appointment with your IA Coach, the more options you will have when it comes time to sign up for classes.

Attend a Group Advising Session

• The first sessions will begin on July 1st and we will continue to offer these sessions throughout the month of July.
• If you are a student-athlete or a transfer/early college student, there is a specific session just for you. But, if you absolutely can’t make it to one of those, please attend a general group session and you will need to discuss any missed information with your IA Coach.
• Click here to see all dates and to register.

DEADLINE: JULY 1

Don’t forget to send us the following required documents:

New Student Move-in is from Friday, August 7 – Monday, August 10. Optional and social sessions with small groups will happen all throughout the weekend as new students have moved in and are getting settled. Official required sessions run from Tuesday, August 11 – Saturday, August 15.

Transfer Student Move-in is on Tuesday, August 11 and because you don’t need to take a First Year Seminar, we have created a different schedule that still includes the important all-college sessions. Orientation mandatory sessions run from Wednesday, August 12 – Saturday, August 15.

Allowing move-in to happen over several days will allow new students and family to maintain social distance as they move through the residence halls.

Orientation is a mandatory time for you to learn all about campus life.  For move-in, we request that you bring your closest family member who can help you with moving items.  In order to keep the number of folks low going in and out of our residence halls, we are unable to allow several family members for each new student and hope you understand our commitment to social distancing.

CIGNA is the insurance company, and CHP / Wellfleet is the plan administrator (for managing benefits, claims, and communications).

• Go to studentinsurance.com and enter “Warren Wilson College” in the Find Your School field.
• Choose Waive and then Waive Online. Follow the instructions to create an account.
• Make sure to use your WWC email address.
• Enter your insurance information.
• Waiving in the fall will waive coverage for the entire year.
• Make sure you receive confirmation from CHP / Wellfleet that your waiver was approved. If the charge is not removed from your Student Account within 5 business days then your waiver has not been approved. Log into your CHP / Wellfleet account to complete the waiver process.

Are you considering competing on a varsity sports team? If so, you can learn more about athletic insurance coverage here.

NOTE: The waiver must be completed by September 21, 2020 or the charge will not be reversed.  For more information, email studentlife@warren-wilson.edu or call (828) 771-3800.

Your Integrated Advising (IA) Coach will help you choose and register for courses until you declare a major.

You are now able to view your on-campus housing assignment for next year by logging into myWWC.

NOTE: You must have setup your WWC network account (refer to instructions in the step above). If you do not see a housing assignment in myWWC, it may be because we don’t have your Room Selection Survey (above)!

To find your room assignment, log into myWWC with your WWC credentials, then go to the  Residence Life page under the Campus Life section. Scroll down to the section that says “My Residence Information” and that’s where you’ll find your room and roommate.

The best way to contact your new roommate, if you wish, is through WWC email. If you draft an email in your WWC gmail account and start typing their first and/or last name, you should be able to find them! All WWC community members (students, staff, and faculty) are pre-loaded into WWC gmail so you can find most folks this way.

If you have any other questions, please contact us at housing@warren-wilson.edu.
