Alexander Global Village is an
on-campus university residence hall devoted to introducing
international students to American culture, exposing American students
to other cultures, and making the entire community aware of global
issues. Alexander Global Village is a residence hall with 50%
international and 50% U.S. students. The U.S. students must submit a
special application to live in Alexander and many of them are former
participants in overseas exchange programs. In Alexander, there are
many social and cultural activities with an international theme, and
most students find living there to be a very enjoyable part of their
experience at NC State.
The Alexander Global Village program features:
the pairing of international students and American students as roommates
student Ambassadors to assist in acclimating international students to American culture
discussion programs and excursions focusing on international and global awareness

for incoming Study Abroad student accommodations. Exchange Applicants
have an opportunity to select Alexander Global Village as their choice
for accommodations while here on exchange at NC State as part of their
application process. These rooms will be assigned to incoming students
based upon the time and date the housing application is submitted. Please note:
if the demand for Alexander Global Village exceeds the capacity
reserved for incoming students, we will work to place incoming Study

Exchange students also have the option to live in the on-campus Wolf Village Apartments, which is typically more appealing for graduate and older students. Exchange Applicants have an opportunity to select Wolf Village as
their choice for accommodations while at NC State as part of
their application process. Please note: if the demand for Wolf Village exceeds

you do not wish to live on-campus in Alexander Global Village or Wolf
