Residence Halls
Residential life is a vital part of the educational mission of Guilford College. Residential life provides many points of interaction with others for friendship, for the formulation of values, and for exercising 
communal and personal responsibility.
Because Guilford College is a residential campus that values the community of students in a residential setting, traditional students under the age of 23 are required to live on campus and eat in the dining hall.
Any traditional student (including local students) desiring to live off campus must complete an off campus application and approval is not guaranteed. There are no opportunities for married students or CCE students to live on campus. During fall and spring breaks, Thanksgiving, and winter break, the residence halls and dining services are officially closed. Students may apply to remain in the residence hall during the breaks with the exception of winter break when all students must vacate the halls.
All residence halls are smoke-free environments. There are only a few designated areas outside where smoking is permitted.

Theme Houses
Guilford College offers the opportunity for groups of students to live together in special interest housing or theme houses. There are four houses that accommodate six to 11 students and are organized around common social or academic interests, such as substance-free/healthy living, the study of languages, the environment, or multi-cultural themes. Students may apply each spring for special interest housing for the following academic year. The houses are not available for first-year students or new transfers. Students living in the theme houses are not required to participate in the college meal plan, but may elect any of the meal plan options. Floor Plans
The Pope House is the designated substance-free alternative for upper class students. Students may sign-up for the Pope House as individuals during the Spring Housing process. Space is limited.
Student Apartments
Upper class students (juniors and seniors only) desiring apartment living have the option of two apartment complexes right on campus. The newer Student Apartments South, which opened in Fall 2005, house up to 134 upper-class students in 34 apartments. There are also the Student Apartments North, completed in 1991 with newly renovated kitchens for fall 2008, which have 24 apartments housing up to 96 upper-class students. These apartments, shared by four students with separate single bedrooms, are carpeted with furnished bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen with electric range, full sized refrigerator and microwave (but does not include cookware, dishes or utensils) and a furnished dining room and living room. All apartments are strictly non-smoking. Students living in the apartments are exempted from the college meal plan, but may elect to choose any of the meal plan options. The student community center is nestled between the North and South apartments so apartment residents may enjoy the informal student lounge or other campus events hosted in the community center.
