Australian exchange student housing, please help

<p>Hi there, </p>

<p>I'm (hopefully) heading to UNC Chapel Hill on exchange for the Fall semester (2013) from Australia this year and I'm looking at housing options and I'm struggling. I don't know anyone who has been there or goes there and there seems to be so many options. I'll be 21 so I'm sort of thinking off campus housing - somewhere fun, social and possibly not too expensive. Are apartments the go? Or a normal house? I thought this might be a good place to get some ideas. Any tips would be seriously appreciated, cheers!</p>

<p>Hi tomw123! I’m a UNC alum and my daughter was accepted EA. We can’t really advise you about housing but there is a thread from 03/02/2013, titled “British student going to UNC Chapel Hill,” that discusses housing options. In addition, you could simply call/email UNC housing dept. and get their advice. Best wishes!</p>
