Your living costs at Chapel Ridge can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing.

Nearly all the residents at Chapel Ridge are students at University of North Carolina and the per-person contracts are also designed with students in mind. Residents/families with children are welcome. There is no extra cost for minor children in the care of adult residents, other than regular charges for each bedroom space selected by the resident. A minor occupying a bedroom space rented by a parent, guardian or person with legal custody is not considered a breach of the Housing Agreement or a violation of the rules.

In order to match student roommates in shared apartments, we will request roommate consent for any non-student occupants.
