Student
housing at East Carolina University is based in three neighborhoods- College Hill, West End and Central.
Like any community all three neighborhoods have some common elements-
like access to key services and programs, and each neighborhood has its
unique features like location! All of our neighborhoods are within
walking distance to the academic buildings where students have a
majority of their classes. The College Hill Neighborhood is served by Todd Dining Hall, and the Central and West End Neighborhoods are served by the West End Dining Hall.
Check out the information on our residence halls that make up each residential neighborhood.

You'll never run out of things to do on the Hill.
The College Hill neighborhood is nestled between East Carolina’s academic buildings and its athletics complex, meaning you’re just a short walk away from classes during the week and sporting events on game days. In the neighborhood itself are six residence halls, a fitness facility, a dining hall, a food court, a coffee bar, and a convenience store. The neighborhood has all you need within walking distance, and there’s usually someone else going your way.
