I love living here! The location is fantastic, the Agora is on site, and having housekeeping is so nice! Can’t wait to live here again next year!
Amber K.
Thus far, my experience has been exceptional. I've enjoyed my fellow residents, staff, and especially the dining hall. The convenience of being on Franklin Street is unparalleled!
Sahil Prashant P.

Kohen Andrew G.
It’s pretty good so far. Haven’t moved in yet but I mean can’t argue with free gift cards. Can’t wait to go to unc, meet some stray cats, yknow.
Sarah Gwyneth S.
So far my experience has been very good. The staff at Granville Towers has been very helpful and responsive in helping me change something on my lease that needed editing. The process for signing the lease and everything was very easy and not stressful at all. Excited to live in Granville Towers in the fall!
Kelly Lauren B.
smoothie day is my absolute favorite :) love how close Granville is to everything, especially places to eat on Franklin Street and to Target!
Jessica J.
I have not started living in granville yet but loved it when i took a tour!! I know a lot of people who have lived in granville this past year and i’ve heard nothing but great things.
Delaney Blythe L.
The location of Granville is unbeatable and they obviously have a niche for finding the best RAs. However, I have not been impressed with maintenance of the community.
Olivia B.
I really enjoy the location of Granville Towers. I like being able to walk to Franklin street easily. That’s something you don’t get when you live on South Campus.
Tenley Marie N.
Other than the brief disruption of living due to mold, my Granville experience has been satisfactory. Having a private weight room and a cafeteria so close is such a blessing.
Tate J.
I love Granville and believe it’s an amazing place to learn and spend time with friends. I’m excited to be staying in Granville this coming Fall.
Caroline Elizabeth L.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the location is great. Overall my experience has been awesome! The Agora and gym are super convenient as well.
Emily P. C.
I have had the best experience at Granville Towers. Living here has truly helped my first year be so amazing. I love all the people and especially the location.
Julianna Brooke R.
Hospitality, maintenance and food service are great. I would recommend to others that Granville Towers is where they should live because it is in an ideal location.
Martha T.
Granville Towers is a great place to live as a freshman, like myself. You are close to many other people but are able to have privacy as you please! Convenient amenities and location!
Madeline G.
So far so good. Agora is amazing with just the perfect location. Gym is great but I wish we could have one in West. Noise issue is somewhat improved but still prevails. Hope GT can keep getting better!
Runjie Y.
The location is perfect as well as the conveniences of laundry, food and printing capabilities. Granville also is great with notifications about packages. The other great piece about Granville is the traditional room there are only 4 people who share a bathroom. The negative is the air temperature control.
Kendra Renee R.
Awesome place to live with awesome people. The dining hall is great. I’ve stayed here both of my first two years and I’ve never been disappointed.
Tanner H.
Granville is an overall nice place to live. It is very close to campus and Franklin Street, the dorms are a nice size, you can park there, and the food is pretty good for a dining hall. The convenience is what makes it worth living there!
Taylor P.
This is my second year at Granville, and I am staying next year too! The location is unbeatable if you want to live on campus- you’re close to classes and to Franklin street. Having our own gym and having the Agora with our buildings is another big bonus.
Calista C.
Friendly people and staff, great food, great atmosphere. I love to eat at the ag the food is amazing. Five star rating all day long. Especially the deep fried Philly cheesesteak quesadillas.
Edward L.
Granville is in great location but lacking dining quality and the age of the building gives way to issues like mold which have wreaked havoc on the complex.
Christian K.
Large rooms and nice bathrooms but the other people who live here are so loud and keep late hours. The entire staff is really nice and helpful.
Caroline B.
Objectively, the rooms are great and the living situation is very comfortable. However, the noise at night is absolutely terrible and it's difficult to do any kind of academic work. The social environment is also not academic at all, and very distracting. Overall, the living situation is objectively great, but the noise is absolutely terrible and some residents are incredibly inconsiderate.
Amber H.
I love the community, Granville does a good job of providing plenty of opportunities to get involved with the tower and meet others. The rooms are also nice, and maintenance problems get replied to relatively fast. We also have a lot of great resources and amenities. I wish there was a way that we could make food recommendations or improve the quality of the healthy options that we have in the agora.
Nina C.
I love living at granville towers! The location is definitely my favorite part. Granville is located right off of Franklin Street and central to most restaurants and happenings in Chapel Hill.
Emily S.
Granville is a great option for UNC students. It is so close to campus and Franklin Street and the food in the Agora is pretty decent. The only complaint is sometimes the noise level.
Faith H.
great! i’ve just had an excellent experience that is so amazing that i can’t even express how fun it’s been in only one hundred and forty characters
Andrew C.
I have really enjoyed staying here. I have made alot of new friends that can last a life time. The service is always really quick. The one thing I wish I could change is the ac.
Reed S.
I love living here! There is so much access to fun activities, amenities, and good food in the Agora. My favorite day is smoothie day! yummy
Alexis T.
It was okay. My floor is so loud at night when they are having parties and it’s hard for me to fall asleep. Except for this, other things are okay.
Xiaotong X.
Friendly workers and prompt maintenance service! The only major inconvenience this year was the mold, but even that was taken care of in an organized and generous manner.
Emmaleigh W.
I love living at Granville, but having no option of AC during the winter is a struggle. It gets up to 82° in my room which my fan can’t even make it feel cool enough in here. The maintenance and cleaning staffs are all nice and doing really good work though :)
Olivia G.
The location is the best!!! Whenever there is a problem it is also fixed right away once you request maintenance in the residential portal app. Everything is just really convenient. The gym is super close which is nice if you like the workout late at night or early in the morning so it’s not a far walk!
Lauren S.
Full of accessible resources, fun and interactive RA’s and smiling faces if students all enjoying a wonderful and clean safe community housing!

Staying at Granville Towers has been a wonderful experience this year! My roommate and my suitemates are nice, the food is great and I have made so many new friends!
William W.
Great place to live as a first year student. Staff is very sweet. Nice facilities. The mold issue this year was a little inconvenient but rest assured everything is fine now. Overall, I would say this is the best place to live as a first year student!
Cameron F.
Granville is the best place to stay for your freshmen year at UNC! The location to classes cannot be beat and the food is much better than on campus food!
Spencer P.
I love the location, access to food and rooms. This is truly a great place to live. Yes, there may be some issues but it is overall a great place to live. Highly recommend.
Kendra R.
While overall I believe granville is better than south campus housing, there are some major pitfalls to the community. The elevators are always broken, the heating/cooling is terrible, bathrooms are small and gross, showers have no water pressure, agora food is average at best
Nicholas B.
Location is perfect & love community feel here but issues w ac- my room has been at 80+ degrees for a week and maintenance told me “there’s not much we can do”
Constance S.
Granville is the best location first-year students have to choose from. The rooms are bigger than the average dorm, they offer singles, and there’s parking- hands down best choice to fulfill on-campus living requirement.
Emily M.
The food is great, and the location is the best on campus.
It’s so nice to have our room and bathroom cleaned once a week.
And ... Target is literally 200 yards from my room!
Matthew L.
Granville Towers is a good place to live. I have enjoyed the room situation, the food is good, and the staff is friendly. Overall, it is a good place to be while at school.
Jonathan D.
Rooms too hot at night. Mold issue not ideal for obvious reasons. Ac manipulation is weak, since you can only change air flow, not air temperature.
Graham R.
My experience has been mostly pleasant. The staff is very kind and helpful. Some annoyances with getting repairs done. The Agora is often lacking vegan options.
Austin J.
it’s been a rough year. Have I always had a bed? Yes. Are the RAs and staff nice? Yes. Are there serious problems with the management of this facility? Most definitely.
Halsey Z.
Granville has been an amazing community and has helped in whatever way they can in making the transition into college a success for me! So glad I chose to live here and will stay next year!
Makayla A.
great community and a lot of fun with all the cool events that Granville hosts! Looking forward to the welcome back dinner :D
Great staff her
Kelvin L.
Granville has been a great experience for the past 2 years! The atmosphere is great, I love having the dining hall in such close proximity. Great place to live!
loga*@*.com
Wonderful place to live!! Super fun and it’s nice having the agora right there! I also really enjoy the other amenities that are available such as the work out room and lounges on the floors.
Elliot E.
It has been great! I love living at Granville! The location is very nice because it is so close to campus! The food and people are good and having a gym is really nice.
Elisabeth M.
The absolute best place to live at UNC! The people, the location and the amenities are unmatched. I have met some of my best friends here!!!
MaryAnna C.
Living at Granville has been great, the community is great and they really do care about residents input and comfortable living. Granville has been a great place to live.
Ezekiel W.
Everyone here is really great! I love the Agora and the wrapping station was super helpful during the holiday season. I am looking forward to living here next year.
Amber K.
I would make the rating lower due to the mold incident and the prices of the room which are similar to prices that you could receive a full on apartment with. I live at Granville because it was mandatory by our coach.
Gabrielle H.
My experience living here was good up until the mold issue happened and we were forced to relocate during school days. I feel like each summer/winter/spring ALL the vents and systems need to be checked and rechecked to avoid the same issue happening again.
Yasmine T.
Overall, I love the atmosphere at Granville Towers! The people are so nice and it is in such a great location. The rooms are pretty big and have plenty of space.
Cloe P.
My experience has been alright. The mold issue was resolved fairly quickly but could have been a lot more organized. Also, laundry prices going up afterwards is completely ridiculous.
huan*@*.edu
Love the location. It's so close to frat court and franklin street, and there's a library across the street too. Love that I don't have to leave my room in the middle of the night just to use the bathroom too lol. The noise can be a little unbearable sometimes though.
huan*@*.com
Absolutely love the room, location, and amenities. I love that the gym and the dining hall are within the community and are easily accessible, and I love that the gym is basically 24/7. The noise is AWFUL though. Some people just have absolutely no consideration and self awareness and blast music at 2am on a Tuesday.
huan*@*.com
I was very well accommodated, and the staff was very pleasant. Even with the mold troubles, Granville made sure everyone was taken care of. Also, the staff was quick to help fix any room issues we had.
Reghan F.
Amazing!! Love the people and community of Granville. The location is amazing especially if you are involved in Greek life or love eating out. Wish the Agora food was better. Much better than staying in south campus. Also, the mold wasn’t fun.
Elizabeth P.
Not great, not horrible. Very noisy at night. Hard to focus. Lots of alcohol and drunk people. But the location is nice. Ten minute walk to classes.
Harris D.
Great location and close to restaurants/shopping and campus. The staff is nice and always happy. Maintenance is helpful and prompt. Overall good experience.
Veronika T.
It's been an ok experience... strange smells and people playing loud music when studying for finals (9th floor), but the desk staff are really nice and welcome to questions.
Gloria S.
Overall, I have enjoyed living in Granville. I feel like the staff truly cares about my well-being. I especially love all the unique events Granville hosts for us!!
Sarah M.
Great overall experience with a friendly staff, great community of students and perfect location on campus. The only bad thing to happen here was the mold situation but besides that, a 10/10 experience for my freshman year.
Christian M.
The location of Granville is perfect with it being not too far from campus, my farthest class is 15 minutes, and it is right next to Franklin. The Agora is pleasant and serves a variety of food, I love that the grill is always open so you can order something hot like eggs or pancakes.
Megan C.
Very high quality facilities and caring staff. The location is very close to campus and the facilities are very convenient. Very clean and we'll maintained.
Edward F.
Granville is an amazing first year dorm. It is so close to north campus, the dinning hall is located right in the center of the different towers, and the staff members are so kind. Granville tries to create the best living space for its residents and I would recommend Granville housing to all incoming freshmen.
Kayla M.
Great community here!!! The staff are friendly and location is great! Would definitely recommend this place to friends coming Chapel Hill for college.
Parina B.
Residents are very nice, food is very good, staff is always willing to help. RA’s are understanding and agora crew members are some of the kindest people out there!

Granville is always willing to help.. They care for residents during finals, ensuring that everyone is as happy as can be during that time. The community has great amenities as well.
Trey M.
I have enjoyed living at Granville and appreciate their efforts to resolve the mold issue in a timely manner. I enjoy the facilities and but my room is way too hot!
Korie M.
there’s was mold and it is extremely hot in our room but other than that good. also the agora doesn’t have an amazing amount of gluten free options which is frustrating but yeah.
Isabella R.
Mold was a inconvenience and the noise level is always a little too loud. Other than that, my experience has been relatively okay. Lots of things to do in Chapel Hill.
Parker H.
Granville is very convenient to pretty much anything on campus. Parking prices are a bit steep but, overall it has been a great experience living here.
stua*@*.edu
"I have so far enjoyed my experience as a resident at Granville. While my room has had a few maintenance issues, they were fixed eventually and have not been a problem since. Overall, the experience has been great."
Lindsay C.
Living here has been a great experience. I've enjoyed many amenities and the location is amazing in terms of on-campus activities. The only drawback so far is the decline in quality of the Agora, however, I look forward to seeing it improve!
Kayleigh C.
I have really enjoyed living at Granville towers so far. The location makes it really easy to get to campus or drop by Franklin street to grab a bite to eat. I also really like having a dining hall in such close vicinity as well as a gym.
Juhi S.
Granville Towers is located in a great area. However, I have had several problems with my room that have not been addressed well, such as continuous leaks in my bathroom.
Katherine W.
I love living at Granville! Super close to everything, especially Target and Chipotle :). I really enjoy the themed dinners and smoothie day!
Jessica J.
I love the location. It is so close to Franklin Street and it takes around 5 minutes to walk to campus. The amenities such as the gym, laundry and the Agora are great too!
Adaeze C.
Love Granville Towers. I lived here last year and loved it so much I decided to live here for another year. I have had nothing but great experiences here. The people are amazing and the food is even better.
MaryAnna C.
it is so fun. I like the ammenities and the staff is very nice. the agora is good as well. the location is amazing. it is very easy to get everywhere from here
Jamie B.
Granville is the place where I was meant live and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The location is great right beside Franklin and really not a fall walk from class at all!
Kacy C.
Good place to live. good location. food is ok but better than on campus. Room is great. Having the food so close is great and there is always something available to eat!
Anna B.
Living in Granville has been such a good experience thus far while at Carolina. I have made lifelong friends and the staff if amazing. The close proximity to classes and Franklin St. is also really convenient!

jdav*@*.com
I enjoy Granville and all it has to over. The agora dining hall is very good and has good food available. I like the setup of the rooms because my suite is very close.
Elizabeth K.
Granville Towers really is the place to be at UNC because the staff are extremely friendly, the food is great for first-year living, and it is conveniently by college classes and Franklin Street.
Christian H.
I love Granville the food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Never have had any issues and feel supported by the Granville staff. Would not want to live anywhere else.
Christian H.
Granville has been a great experience so far! The mold incident was handled well and students were compensated fairly for the inconvenience. The location is very convenient, and I couldn't ask for a better layout and setup.
Gretchen S.
Despite the relocations, Granville has been a great place to live. With the Agora, gym, and its close proximity to Target, I would live here again next school year.
Keena W.
Everything has been really good here at Granville. The bathrooms are cleaned very well and the staff is very helpful when it comes to fixing problems and needing accommodations. However, it was annoying that the first two months I couldn't get a good night's sleep because the mold was causing me to cough and have bad allergies. That being said, the problem was fixed and everything is back to normal so I am very happy.
William E.
It’s pretty good except for the mood this year which was kind of disappointing but it’s fine because they got it cleaned. Otherwise it is pretty nice and clean
Victoria P.
I love leaving here and everyone is so sweet and caring. The events that they have are also really fun and my me feel like I’m part of a community.
Isabella P.
I like the gluten free refrigerator! One suggestion I have is to label all foods as safe for the major allergens like CDS does. However, the Agora is tastier!
Marc S.
I'd live here again. Friendly housekeeping staff, clean gym, nice dining hall. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Amber H.
Granville has great amenities such as the Agora, study lounges on each floor, TVs in the Agora and lounges, and the workout room. So far I've liked living in Granville.
Margaret L.
Granville has made pristine accommodations due to the mold and I am very pleased that they were able to immediately solve the issue and allow its residents to stay in one of three amazing hotels for a few days.
Seth T.
The location is amazing, and the staff are super sweet. However, the hallways are super loud, especially at night, so I get little sleep. Would definitely recommend to friends though to live here.
Annsumner T.
I really enjoy the bathrooms at Granville towers. Having my own bathroom has been such an enjoyable experience for me during my time at granville
Andrew C.
Its been such a great experience surrounded with awesome staff and residents! I would recommend this living arrangement to any UNC student, especially the first-years.
Olivia K.
Granville is a great place to live while attending school at UNC. The location is probably the best part. I can walk to any of my classes in under 10 minutes and it is soo close to Franklin Street.
Faith H.
Granville is a great place to stay, although first floor wasn’t the best. It’s a great community overall with plenty to do and have fun getting involved with
Christopher D.
It has been a good experience here at Granville. The people here are really nice and the location is unbeatable. The Agora is usually pretty good unless you go at a bad time.
tt12*@*.com
Granville provided a great environment for students. The food is great and so is the stuff. Everyone is friendly. However, some of the floor is nosier than expected.
Mengzhou F.
Granville towers is a great place to live in. I love the hall style of living because I am close with my suite but also with my hall. I cant wait to continue living here.
John L.
Except for the mold, living in Granville has been a very pleasant experience with the location and Agora that is open at all times throughout the day.
Patrick M.
Granville is quite a nice place to live, as convenience is it’s best factor. The dining hall is close, and so are the classes. I would recommend it to anyone.
Joshua W.
Clean and fun atmosphere! Everyone who works here is super friendly and accommodating. I have met great people aswell. Love everything but the mold.
Kendall Q.
Everything is decent other than the mold issue. Now that it’s fixed I feel more comfortable living here. The agora is my favorite part of living here
Janice C.
Overall My gville experience is pretty good. Frustrating that the mold had me sick for a long time but it’s okay. My bathroom looks like a prison cell but that’s also okay.
Lorenzo G.
Granville towers has very good service. They do a very good job communicating with us about the current situation involving the residence. They also do a very good job including special events for the students.
Tony T.
Good place to live! The staff is nice and friendly and i love the gym. The only issue is that we have a lot of maintenance issues with our bathroom.
Gretta S.
I have enjoyed living in Granville for the most part. The food at the Agora is good. Staff is nice. I enjoy having my own room - the primary reason I moved here.
Cole B.
Granville Towers has provided a great living and learning environment so far for my freshmen year of college. The Agora has great food and the walking distance to classes is very reasonable.
Ethan T.
The staff are very friendly especially in the dining hall. Also, although there is a mold problem, Granville has done very well trying to work with residents.
Seth M.
I love it here and the fact they’ve taken action against the mold is much appreciated! It’s great how fast someone comes after a service request has been sent!
Olivia G.
Very good thus far. Lots of really nice staff/RAs and the food is really good too in the Agora. The community of people is better than my living my freshman year down south campus
Grayson H.
clean facilities and spacious room. Great community. Mold and maintenance request have not been as good as I’d like. Air conditioning and bathroom have been good.
Kate M.
I really enjoy living in Granville and I love the community. The Agora is reasonable but I think they should offer a wider variety of healthier options. Additionally, the mold incident was disturbing but I can move past it.
Lily F.
living at granville is pretty good. the mood is obviously not good but what are you gonna do. it could be a lot worse. i like the agora a lot.
Katherine M.
Besides the mold, the living situations are very nice. I really like the dark wood and how all the furniture is movable. Having the sinks in the bedrooms is fantastic!
Kaitlin R.
I love living in Granville. It has such easy access to dining, the workout room, and it is in a a great location right off of Franklin. The walk to campus is also super quick and easy!
Alexis T.
Y’all doin great but there are a few things you could fix. First the mold thing is wild and y’all probably need to get a hold on that. Second the shower drains never drain and I’m always standing in a pool of my filth so y’all have to do something about that.
Mary M.
The first month or two have been great. Parking and location are great for chapel hill. I love the access of food and location to campus. Great place to live.
Julia C.
The location is amazing and the things that are offered es here are great. There is the agora, the workout room, the study rooms, the laundry rooms, everything we need!
Elliot E.
Roommate makes it hard to sleep at nights and really aren’t having a good time when it comes to sleeping at my time. I like everything from staff to food provided just that small detail at night.
Brian G.
I really enjoy living in Granville Towers, it is very convenient and accessible to my classes and to the downtown area. Granville offers many amenities that are great too.
Caroline D.
The hallways and common spaces are very loud, especially at night. The Granville staff is very nice and helpful when I have an issue. The agora is always clean.
Caroline B.
Granville has been amazing so far. My RA Saqib is the absolute best. The agora always smacks and the friends I have made while here are great.
Jacob H.
Great place, great person, especially the people who works in the agora. Absolutely love them! The environment is also perfect, so close and convenient to restaurants and shops!
Ken L.
This community is a great place to live. The staff is welcoming and the location is great. Living close to Franklin has its perks whether you just want to study or you want to go somewhere to get food with friends.
Grace S.
Living in granville is a great experience. Everyone is nice and friendly. It is a great community and everyone is very inclusive. I am very glad I decided to live here.
Hannah S.
Nice overall experience!
Great location, decent food.
Could be a little noisy sometimes though, hope RAs could be more restrictive on those girls who speak very loud after 11
Runjie Y.
The rooms are very nice and much more customizable. You can easily make it feel like home. I will heavily consider getting a single room here next year if I do not live off campus.
Lukas S.
It's been a good experience overall with some issues with the sink early on that were resolved eventually. Mostly just problems one would expect from an old building
rahn*@*.com
I like how close it is to class but things are always breaking and maintenance barely fixes the problem and we just have to keep calling them
Ashley G.
I enjoy living at Granville towers a lot because the staff is very friendly and attentive, and the location is unbeatable. My only complaint is that I wish there were more parking spots for visitors.
Laura W.
Room size and space is great. Love the joined bathroom. Two things to improve: the coax wall plug has been painted which does not allow for an adapter to be screwed in, which wouldn’t be a problem in the first place because the position and location of the plug in the room is not good. Second thing is AC. Always cold and have to call matinence a lot.
Alison G.
This website is infuriatingly hard to navigate. Just the fact that Granville is using it has made me less satisfied with my experience. I was given a reward code to redeem here and it is absolutely unnecessarily hard to find where to type it in.
Nathan H.
it has been really fun getting to know people. I like the room size and private bathroom. I also like the food in the Agora and the accessibility to help
Grace B.
I'd live here again. Friendly housekeeping staff, clean gym, nice dining hall. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
achu*@*.edu
Pretty great. Clean, internet is fast, and the rooms are decent sized. No regrets! The pricing is also pretty decent especially since its so much better than the dorms on campus.
Michael C.
The staff are beyond helpful and friendly, but the facility does not really live up to the hype it gets. Not a big deal considering it can be a comparable price to on campus with the consideration of a meal plan being included.
Kaylee T.
After living at Granville for approximately two years now , I have always been extremely satisfied with the hospitality and quick assistance with maintenance. Friendly staff!
hayl*@*.com
Granville Towers has been a great experience. Having everything that I possibly need at my fingertips has been great throughout my transition into college.
Carleigh F.
Experience has been great but they are too strict about quiet periods on the wrong people. People come in screaming at 2 AM and get no punishment but yelling after a unc game at 11 pm gets a noise complaint.
Mary W.
Living here in Granville has been so awesome this past month. There is easy access to Franklin street and great food in the agora downstairs. Classes are not a far walk at all which makes it easy every morning.
Sarah R.
The best place as a first year! It has so many options and you make so many friends! Super close to campus. Basically a 10 minute walk to all my classes
Mary K.
When I first arrived at UNC, I was terrified that I wouldn’t find anyone that I could hang out with because I knew absolutely no one. I was surprised, therefore, at how quickly I became part of a close-knit group of friends, almost all of whom live in my dorm.
Martha G.
Granville has the best location for first-year living! The Agora has a wide variety of food, you are not being "limited" by the Agora-only meal plan.
Emily M.
Love it! Only problems have been with leaky ceilings in the bathrooms and AC that’s super cold. Everyone’s super friendly and the location is great.
Shaili R.
My experience at Granville so far has been pretty good. Somedays the food is better than others, but the staff is always super friendly. The sense of community here at Granville is strong and it is now an inviting place that feels like a second home.
Blanka B.
I really enjoy it here! The staff is always super friendly! I love the proximity to campus too! I also really like that first year students have the opportunity to have our cars here!
Amandeep P.
Granville is a great place to live. It is super close to campus and franklin street which is super convenient. It’s also really nice having the Agora.
Anna B.
There are clean buildings with friendly staff willing to help. However, the buildings need landscaping near the parking lots, and they need to update the appliances in the rooms.
Alexa T.
Good amenites and nice people. However, the community and stereotypes that accommodate it are very true. It can feel like one big frat or sorority at times, which can get annoying. The agora is also a nice benefit.
Joseph L.
Granville towers has a good location and is very close to campus. The agora is alright but could definitely use more vegetables and variety. The gym is nice to have but very small
Maria R.
I give Granville Towers FIVE STARS for Location! It's so easy to wake up and get to class - and super close to Franklin Street for all the fun at UNC!
Abigail Y.
I genuinely enjoy living in Granville and the amenities they offer. The facilities are well-kept and the staff is kind. The rooms are spacious and the housekeeping keeps the bathrooms clean.
Jenna A.
The location of Granville Towers is great. It is within a short a short walk of everything you need: class, food, and social events. Plus it is much nicer than other places for freshmen to stay.
Brady W.
My residential experience has been very great. I have loved Granville. I especially love the people who work here and the people who greet me in the Agora every day. Each person is so friendly and has a smile on their face. I was pleasantly surprised by my dorm room and how nice it was! I would definitely recommend Granville to a friend!
Sarah A.
It’s a very kind and inclusive community. The weight room, Agora, and study lounges are my favorite amenities of Granville Towers. I’m definitely going to live here in the coming years.
Corey H.
I love Granville! The Agora is so close and easy, and the room layouts are very nice. The staff is always friendly. It is a very comfortable place to live.
Lillie Q.

Granville is a great dorm to live in as a freshman because the location is great in comparison to some others. The walk to class is much shorter and it is so close to Franklin Street.
Emily L.
The restaurant which is called Agora is very good. It offers various food and ice cream. However, some neighborhoods are too noisy in the night. Some of them will talk loudly in the hallway.
Alan 陈.
I have had a great experience here. The building is in a great location and the dining hall is so convenient and nice. I would definitely recommend.
Jordanemily T.
Very comfortable place to live! Great location and rooms. Granville towers has been a great place to spend 2 years and I have enjoyed all the amenities that come with a lease here.
Kailey H.
The agora is great and the staff are so nice. It is located at a great location. Having a personal vanity and a shared private bathroom is a plus too.
Shane H.
Love it except for the black mildew in the vents and the leaky shower ceilings. The size of the rooms is great along with the Ag. The elevators break sometimes but it's not too bad.
Audrey S.
There’s definitely room for improvement with maintenance and how the rooms are taken care of. As well as things in the Agora. But over all it’s been okay
Julian E.
Great super awesome I love my roommates and the location here is really great and I love having the gym and the agora so close! Tonight we used the kitchen
Gillian V.
The location is simply unbeatable for a first year student. Amenities are comfortable as well. Definitely a unique experience from being in a dorm.
Kevin G.
Great place to live especially as a first-year with the on campus requirement. Not too loud lots of fun and good food! People are super nice and friendly!
Cameron F.
Great atmosphere. Close to campus and close to the many restaurants on franklin street. The free printing with your own paper is amazing, because I have to print a lot and dont have to pay for ink.
Magdalena D.
The staff is very helpful. The food in the Agora is amazing and all of the staff in there are very nice as well. The rooms are very nice and have so much more space than a normal dorm room and the location is so close to campus.
Sarah M.
I love the rooms in Granville, they're such a good size and layout and there's definitely enough room for everything. It's also so convenient for classes and everything on Franklin street which is also a plus. The downside is that the Agora (while it has good food) doesn't have enough selection and it's really easy to get sick of eating the things there.
Stella K.
Granville Towers is the best first year living arrangement at the University of North Carolina. I would highly recommend living here if you want solid community, a good location, and a little more space.
Joshua H.
So far so good. I can’t complain everyone’s been really nice and I have a lot of friends on my hall. Weird small thing to add but the teriyaki chicken wings might need some improvement but other than that, nothing.
Halsey Z.
Living at Granville has thus far been an amazing experience. The food, the people, and the location are awesome and I love being here at UNC.
JohnCarter H.
Everyone is super nice and accommodating throughout the staff and the people living around me. If I ever need anything there is someone who knows the answer or is willing to help. The apartment itself is in good condition and has little to no problems.
Jackson B.
It is good, I have really enjoyed staying here. My RA is cool and so are my room/suite-mates. The agora has very good food, the bathroom cleaners are cool.
James D.
The staff is helpful and friendly but my room did come with some damages and mold. Still would recommend to live in Granville as the location is close to just about everything on campus.
Veronika T.
I love living here! Great location near classes and Franklin Street and the cafeteria has good food! The rooms have lots of storage and I love that the sink is in the room.
Taylor P.
Overall, I guess living here has been alright but sometimes it gets a little loud at night when I'm trying to study, which is kind of annoying. The room has weird smell. Also the times when the elevator and wifi broke down....but the shower water gets hot fast:|
Gloria S.
The location is great being a first year with all my classes in central campus. I don’t have that long of a walk to classes and I get to live right by the hotspots on Franklin street. My only complaint is how much noise comes through the walls of the room, especially when my neighbors come back late at night making a lot of noise.
Noah S.
The RA is great but the room is causing me allergy almost everyday. The food is good and it’s convenient to get there. And everything else is quite accessible
Xiang L.
Pretty good, way better than on campus. The walk to class is only 10-15 as opposed to 30 from south campus living. The rooms are a little more spacious than on campus and has a good feel
Houston L.
Everyone is very social, but sometimes a little too much. They can get loud sometimes at really late hours or early mornings and are not courteous of others when people are resting. The housekeepers are kind and polite, especially Ms, Shirley she is always give a sweet greeting and warm welcome to remind me that I still love Granville.
Sophia M.
I enjoy living at Granville because I like seeing my friends! And the Granville staff are so cool, I like seeing them around the towers. Thanks!
Aklesia M.
Everything about Granville Towers is really good except for the inability to change the room temperature and the hours of the Agora. Late night should be opened on the weekends.
Alma R.
everyone is very nice here and the food is so good. it always looks very clean and the cleaning ladies are extremely friendly when they come every week.
Madison W.
The dorms are nice and pretty spacious to be a dorm. The AC works and there have been no problems with utilities. Nice having a dining hall close by.
Sydney K.
The agora is great, the people are nice, the rooms are spacious, the location is right on franklin street so food is super close if the agora isn't open.
Kelvin L.
I have truly enjoyed living in Granville so far this year. It is a great environment with great staff! I’m looking forward to the remainder of the year!
Tyler C.
Yes ma’am I’m gonna was a protein shake with a lot of people that are they going to eat with y’all doing today and I o yep I wanna was the day you
Victor M.
Good food but it sometimes is very noisy. Also, A/C unit is very loud and they have no way of fixing it, but hey at least it works and keeps my room cool.
Shane P.
Living here is really great! The location is awesome, we get housekeeping which is a major plus, and all the amenities are super nice. Having free printing makes things so much easier.
Amber K.
It's been pretty great living here. Very close to a lot of things (campus, Franklin, etc.) Sometimes there are some bad parts: like when I see all the fun food the other dining halls offer or when it gets really hot in our rooms
Jenny D.
Granville is nice because it’s location and dining services. All of my classes are >15 minutes away and the food at the Agora slaps. Chase and Lenior could never
Leighann V.
I have so far enjoyed my experience as a resident at Granville. While my room has had a few maintenance issues, they were fixed eventually and have not been a problem since. Overall, the experience has been great.

Very fun and inclusive environment with many useful, modern amenities for residents! The staff is professional and well trained in order to always provide the best living conditions.

Kiara B.
Staff here is always helpful. The rooms are nice and it is a good distance from the main part of the campus. would recommend staying here.
Katie C.
Granville is great. I've met lots of great friends. The work orders are definitely on time, and totally don't actually take a really long time to get fixed. Also, there is totally not any mold at all in the ventilation systems.
Devin D.
it is great. The set up of the hall is a great way to met new people on the co-ed halls. Also the cleaning service is extremely helpful when we are busy with classes.
Morgan B.
The room is very nice and spacious. The community is very friendly and the RA is understanding. The noise level is minimal and I can comfortably carry out my daily activities in my room.
David L.
I love Granville Towers! I have visited other dorms at the University of North Carolina and at other Universities and they do not compare to Granville!
Emma M.
I love it here at Granville! It has become a second home for me!! Good food at Agora & amazingly convenient as it is close to Franklin Street and a Target!!
Daqi C.
The rooms are a good size and quality and the location of the dining hall is very convenient. There are lounges on each floor to use for studying or hanging out and the people have been nice.

As a first year, Granville Towers feels very familiar and inviting. I always feel welcomed by the residents as well as the staff here. I really do enjoy this place.
Esteban L.
I love Granville Towers. The room are so big and nice, especially compared to other freshman dorms. All the staff members are so kind and helpful.

It is so fun to live in Granville because the location is great and the food is super good and it’s nice to have a target and be so close to campus at the same time
Katherine B.
Solid community with a good location compared to freshman dorms. The amenities offered fulfill everything I need (Like a printer and dining hall).
Riley L.
Granville is the perfect place for me- I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else on campus. The central location to campus has been one of the best parts about living here, not to mention how amazing the people here are! My only complaint is some noticeable wear and tear within my room, but that is nothing that can't be easily fixed.
Reily M.
My experience at Granville has varied day by day but for the most part this place is better than on campus living for your freshman year. I would recommend this place for incoming first years.
James R.
it’s great and comfortable and spacious. However, our AC unit keeps breaking and we are not able to regulate how cold the room gets. Maintenance has come several times and is unable to fix it.
Madeline S.
Really fun except the toilets don’t flush that well but overall good. Definitely would recommend! woohoo. The water from the tap is dirty though which could be improved but I like the closets a lot they’re super cute
Peyton V.
I have absolutely no issues with this community so far. The rooms are clean, staff is very helpful, and the location is unbeatable. Ten out of ten recommend
Nicholas B.
Granville is a great place to be and has became my home away from home. It’s made the transition from home to college so much easier! I am so thankful for this place!!
Makayla A.
Been good. Elevator and WiFi have kinda sucked. Agora hours also kind of suck. Everything else is pretty good. Been good. Elevator and WiFi have kinda sucked. Agora hours also kind of suck. Everything else is pretty good.
Maya A.
everything is great! my only complaint is the loud/scary AC system. Also sometimes it just doesn't work as well as we'd like it to. but its better than nothing
Brianna C.
Granville Towers is definitely the place to be on campus. It is super close to classes, and being on Franklin Street is awesome. Would recommend.
Madison W.
Granville Towers is amazing. I am a first year and I truly vibe well with the social atmosphere. The food at the Agora is alright. 10/10 would recommend GT
RavChrysler A.
Living in Granville Towers is honestly a great experience. The location is truly unbeatable, and having everything I need in the community, like a gym, food at the Agora and even things like a gift wrapping station are an added bonus.
Bolatito B.
My floor is great. Our RA is super cool and there are lots of nice people in my building and in the community in general. The only thing I don’t like is how loud people are during quiet hours and when people mess with people’s door decorations.
Brianna K.
It’s great! The hall is always bustling with people so it’s easy to talk to them and catch up about their days. There is a close hall community as a result.
Anisha K.
I really enjoy the space in the room and the food in the Agora is pretty good. I like how they switch it up every week. The gym is so convenient how it is just a 2 minute walk away
Ryan K.
I have loved living in Granville...so much that I have lived here for freshman and sophomore year. My favorite part of living in Granville is connecting with the Agora staff. Ms. Diane will always hook you up with the daily specials and is such a joyful person that brightest my day!
loga*@*.com
The Agora has good food and it’s right next to target but the WiFi has been flickering recently. It’s also right next to frat court so it’s noisy af.
long*@*.com
This has been such an incredible community experience. Everyone on my floor is so welcoming, nice, and open. The food is delicious and varied and the coffee is incredible.
lgcm*@*.edu
It’s truly been lovely living here in Granville. The housekeeping staff are extremely kind, and all of the facilities are kept clean. I would recommend ensuring that wet wipes are always in the workout room, but other than that, it’s been great.
The staff is excellent and the rooms are great considering it’s a college dorm. But the constant breaking down of 1/2 elevators and the WiFi being down are major inconveniences.
Kalina G.
Granville Towers has been a wonderful place to be here at UNC. The Agora and all the staff there have always been polite and kind, and the food is spectacular. Everyone is super friendly and I am fitting right in!

Sara M.
Best place to live in the Carolina community. So thankful to have been at Granville rather than on campus my freshman year, and I am back again because the place is so good.
Christian H.
Good living conditions, very clean as of now. Although many people are getting sick from what I can tell. I’ve heard rumors that it could be from the air vents, but I don’t know.
James I.

lrec*@*.edu
Awesome so far. The rooms are incredibly clean and the bathrooms are nice as well. The air conditioning works great which has been important.
Nicholas V.
Great dorm experience. Perfect location next to Franklin street and Target, and only a 10 minute walk from campus. Rooms are big with great amenities. My only complaint is that maintenance did not believe us or do anything about a complaint we had.
Courtney L.
Kind of expensive for cinderblock rooms, but I guess that's college for you. Very spacious and clean. Kind staff and good food! Also very close to campus.
Harris D.
Granville is awesome! Thanks for having me. Im in the south tower. Having 3 elevators is awesome. I never have to wait. I don’t like the emergency alarm at the steps tho
Grant H.
The community here has been fantastic and the location is unbeatable. The Agora is also a great place to grab food whether you're in a rush or just want to talk to new people.
Edwin B.
Wish the computers/printers here were more competent. Very very slow and hard to access as there is only one in each building. The printer is hard to work and eats up paper.
Adrienne C.
The food in Agora is delicious, housekeeping is very respectful and kind, the service desk is always informative, the room size is very accommodating, and the location is perfect!
Reghan F.
real nice place to live with big rooms and quick access to the dining hall which is called the agora. close to Franklin street and north campus where many freshman classes are

Granville Towers is very clean and in a great location. Rooms are a great layout and give plenty of space to each person. The Agora has great food options.
Apostolia K.
Everyone that works here is so helpful and the people living here are so friendly. The amenities are also by far the best on campus. The best living experience
Lauren C.
Things have been great aside from random times throughout the night when people get loud and rowdy. Also, I have friends telling me that the Granville air can make you sick— I, and others, got sick within the first week, so there seems to be some truth to that statement.
Trey M.
Great staff and amenities. I have stayed here two years and loved every minute. I definitely recommend Granville’s to any incoming freshmen.
Tanner H.
I love it here! The rooms are spacious, the people are friendly, and the dining hall has a lot of good, healthy options. The only complaint I have is that there were several maintenance problems with the room upon move-in.
Constance S.
A nice space. Good food at the Agora, weekly bathroom cleaning, convenient location. However, Greek life is excessive and noisy, especially at night.
Nijah P.
I lived in Granville Towers last year and it was so amazing that I decided to live here for a second year!! The people here are amazing and I am glad to have a second year to spend with them all!

Jessica J.
Granville is a nice place to live overall, but has occasional shortfalls such as uncleanliness in the hallways and a lack of communication at times during room assignments. They are understandably busy but all residents need to be heard.

Granville is a great place to live. This is my third year living here and I love it! The location and food are both great and never disappoint.

The building is nicely updated and spacious. The bathrooms have bathtubs which is great for relaxing and you have your own personal sink in each room.
Kaitlin R.
It’s beautiful & they provided plenty of information for you to stay there. It’s near everything you need such as your classes, Franklin Street & Target.
Kendra R.
Granville Towers was a great place to live my first and second year at Carolina. Close to class and Franklin Street. With a gym and every meal taken care of
Jessie D.
Granville is awesome! I am especially excited to have a single room. I would like it if the cafeteria had a few more organic food options, but overall everything is really nice.
Samantha G.
I have only had great experiences here. My only complaint is that parking passes are way too expensive. Other than that, I’m excited to live here.
Jordan T.

Granville is the best! The communication before I have even arrived is so good. Looking forward to the best year ever. The people have always been there to help me as well.

Very nice rooms that are spacious and well designed. The Agora is great to grab a quick bite or to sit down and eat till you can’t anymore. The community is very friendly

The location and amenities are the best parts of Granville. I chose it as my freshman dorm because of the great services they offer and the short distance from campus and downtown.

Good location. Good food. Great service. I will refer it to all my friends. Love the place. Spacious and has better layout than other dorms. Thanks guys.

I move in in about 2 months and I’m so excited. Every time I have been there it has been an extremely great stay. It is always very clean and there are so many great amenities right in Granville.

I would like to have not seen the removal of the actual keys to the dorm rooms because I liked the idea of there not being fobs but this should be interesting.
Jackson L.
So welcoming and new I love the experience here. A wonderful place to live with great features. In the heart of Chapel Hill only a short walk to the heart of UNC.
Sarah R.
The staff is great but I feel the facilities could be updated. I love the food and other residents but I think rooms could be renovated and amenities could be updated.
Hannah L.
I am so happy with my choice to move into Granville Towers. I am very happy with the convenience of the sink in my room and I am very impressed by the amenities provided!
Chloe A.
Took a tour before coming into UNC freshmen year. Everyone was so nice & the amenities were great too! Definitely made me more excited to be attending Carolina.

Granville is a great private dorm because of its location on North campus near the academic buildings and because of its amenities. It is super convenient!
Margaret L.
I love being in Granville Towers. It is close to social events and classes. The food is good and the rooms are nice. Parking is a hassle but it’s manageable.
Evander S.
The staff is excellent!!!! Always willing to help me any time I have a problem or question...and fast!!! I think I will love living in south tower next semester but wish there was a way to walk to the agora and gym without getting in the rain...like a pavilion or something would be helpful!
Brooke G.
Has been a great process so far in the midst of registering and preparing for move in. Staff has been great and attentive and has made me and my roommate excited for the move.

Rahul N.
Very great place to live to meet people with a super helpful staff. Just a bit loud at times. The location to Franklin Street and campus is also great
Megan L.
i loved living in granville towers it was close to class and the people were great. the agora was always good and the gym was super close. overall short walk to everywhere.
Keilei L.
I really enjoyed staying in Granville, but it was really hard to regulate the temperature some times. That was my main issue. My room could be really cold or really hot.
Aubree D.
Granville Towers is in an unbeatable location and provides a great community for students to get to know each other. The laundry, cafeteria, and gym are all very convenient.
Connor Y.
Granville is a really nice place to live. The location is awesome. It’s so close to all of my classes and Franklin St which makes it so easy to walk wherever I need to go
Caroline B.
Sometimes the food would get monotonous. The rooms are okay and certainly suffice for a college student. The staff is mostly friendly and the cleaning crew is very nice.
aaro*@*.com
The value of living at Granville is AMAZING! People often think Granville is expensive, but it's not really! Granville has a convenient location since it is just a 10-minute walk to campus! Having our own dining hall is great too because you don't have to trek far to get food. The one thing about the Agora is the lack of variety in vegetarian foods since eating the same vegetarian options like stir fry and burritos can get very boring. Also, I have noticed that when vegetarian foods are asked to be made (whether on the grill or at the Banhe counter), the same utensils, knives, and bowls are used as non-vegetarian foods which for some vegetarians becomes a problem. It is nice that we have on-site maintenance however, sometimes maintenance never really fixes the root of the issue. The entire year, my roommate and I went with the shower and our vanity sink not draining properly so sometimes the water would rise up higher than our ankles in the shower and water would take forever to drain in the sink while brushing our teeth. We filled out several maintenance requests throughout the year but the problem was and still is not resolved.
Parita B.
Granville is in a great location and close to most classes. The food is also great; I always have friends who have meal plans on campus ask to eat at the Agora in Granville because it is better!
rhyn*@*.com
I've lived in Granville for 2 years now and the Agora continues to slap. The housekeeping staff is never anything less than amazing and the RA's are awesome
emelda O.
Loved Granville! It's super close to Franklin, the Agora has great food (my personal fav was smoothie day), and the people are just amazing:) 10/10 recommend

Faith H.
Granville Towers is THE BEST!! I love all the food in the Agora and the staff is amazing. They are super sweet, kind and love to get to know the residents.
MaryAnna C.
Granville was a great place to live this past year! The staff was extremely kind, no matter how early or late. The gym and fitness studio were always clean and had lots to offer.
apri*@*.com
I have had a pretty decent experience in my community. However, the majority of the time, residents around my room are very loud, especially during quiet hours. It normally doesn't continue for a long period of time, but other times my whole suite is woken up at 3 a.m because people are running up and down the hallway. Other than this, my experience has been great!
laur*@*.com
My experience here has been great I love the location and how convenient it is. I like living in East Tower because it has the gym and it is closest to classes.
Grace S.
Great location and nice size rooms. Having Franklin Street and Target right beside you while also have a short walk to classes was convenient. All the staff was friendly, and were readily accessible when needed. Food was better than on campus, and the special themed dinners they had were nice. A little more in-tower amenities would be nice, overall a great dorm for students.
Braxton H.
The location is the best part about living in Granville. It is an easy walk to your classes and so close to Franklin Street!! Granville also as the Agora which is super convenient.

Overall great place to live. Some minor setbacks like our sink having gunk come out of it. But everything else was great. The food is great. Atmosphere is great.

Granville has been great and very convenient. I just wish the AC and heat weren’t so extreme and could just be moderate. The staff here are so helpful, although some RA’s really do the bare minimum. The agora is great and I’m so glad they FINALLY put dairy free frozen yogurt in!

I like living in Granville Towers. Mostly because of its proximity to Franklin Street. The 24 hour gym, however, is also a big plus to living here.

I don’t like the food and I don’t like some of the staff, they seem to be unfriendly and very unhelpful. Otherwise, the rooms and amenities are fine.

Living at Granville Towers during my freshman year has been amazing! The walks to campus are short and enjoyable! The Agora always has great food and has fun theme nights throughout each month!
Maddy H.
Couldn't be happier, love Granville towers and everything they give to the freshmen experience. the agora is phenominal, and the location cannot be topped. Thank you!
Kennedy B.
I chose to live at Granville because my other plans fell through the year. Could be worse, but not being able to sleep until 3 every night takes a toll on you
Gray H.
Granville is a great place to live. You have great neighbors, great RAs and great staff. Everyone is always so nice and welcoming. The agora always has great food and staff. I love the location of Granville-it May be the best part. You are so close to your classes and to Franklin street.

Granville is at a very convenient location. The food in the Agora is pretty good but you might get bored eating there every day. Smoothie days are the best though. Also, Granville can be loud especially if you are on a Freshman floor. The walls are not very soundproof and some resident said have a habit of being yelling/stopping/running at 2-3am after quiet hours.
Sophie B.
The staff are really great, I love the room. Housekeeping is really sweet as well and do a great job! Really looking forward to living here again.
Amber K.
Granville Towers is a good place to live for first and second year students. The agora is better than on campus dinning and the gym options in the basement are better than making the trip to campus
Jessie D.
Granville has spacious rooms and the convenience of the Agora cannot be beat! The study lounges located on each floor are nice areas to hang out and watch TV or to do homework with friends.

My experience has been great. The location of Granville is unbeatable along with having the agora at hand anytime I'm hungry. All staff and RAs have been great.
Zack B.
Clean space and nice having vanity, however, the desk attendant is not always there at multiple times in the day making it inconvenient. Also, maintenance did not know how to fix a certain issue with our bathroom.
Katie S.
Overall wonderful. Made friends that will last a life time. The agora is killer! Getting our bathrooms cleaned is another perk. The location is also amazing.

I was unaware of how heavily-focused Granville is on Greek life, so I do not like that aspect. I would not have lived there had I known about this.

Love it. Super close to Target and Franklin Street. Five minute walk to campus. The Ag saves my life because it's so close and I love smoothie day.
Jessica J.
very cool time, love the gym it is really nice and updated. I like the laundry services and the staff is really nice. However, I think that only giving 2hr parking passes out to parents is not cool
Alyson W.
Granville Towers is a great place to live at UNC. The amenities are nice, the Agora is good and the location is great. It's awesome to live so close to classes and Franklin St!
Caroline B.
Staff is fun to talk to. Both the maintenance staff and the agora staff are fun people. People do get loud sometimes but its not a bid deal.

The location in relation to classes and Franklin street makes it the most convenient freshman housing. The staff are very welcoming and helpful as well.
Megan L.
Choosing to live at Granville is one of the best decisions I've made in college. It's a perfect location for people who want to be close to classes, but also want to enjoy Franklin Street.
Carson S.
Noise can be a little bit of an issue, the halls (especially freshman halls) can be really loud. The environment is fun and it's really great to have a gym and dinning hall right there.
Rachel C.
Overall I really love the location of Granville towers and the conciencie of having the gym and agora so close to where I live. I also really like the design of the room.

Granville towers has been quite the experience as a first year student of UNC-CH. While South campus does seem like a unique experience, I am happy I chose to live in Granville. I love the location, the suite style, and the community.
Kelly D.
Granville Towers has a great location. You are convient to classes and Franklin street which is great. Living here is kind of like your typical dorm experience though. Late night food is the best!
Carrie T.
Living here is awesome! The Agora is super convenient and it's in the best location. It takes me like 6 minutes to get to some of my classes! Everyone here is super nice and i've made so many friends. Any issues (ie plumbing) were easily resolved by talking to people in the main office!
lkli*@*.com
I love my hall, I have made so many friends from my floor. I love my suitemates and my roommate. Sharing a bathroom with 4 people is much better than having to share with 8. The staff at Granville Towers is also always friendly to me.
Claudia B.
The community here is very comfortable and safe. Loving at Granville May have been one of the best decisions I made...after choosing to come to UNC.
Parina B.

Great location for a first-year. However, the noise can be unbearable for anyone hoping to study/sleep. Shoddy repairs for problems in room.

GT is close to everything I want on campus and it's got some great food. GT's staff cares about making the environment a safer, more fun place.
Saurav B.
Granville is great, but it could be even better with a bit more TLC and timeliness. I love the location! The agora could use a few more vegetarian and vegan options though.
Aubree D.
I love the location and the amenities. The gym and the agora are both so close and so convenient. The staff is always friendly and kind. Our bathroom has had several issues that were not fixed promptly, but when they were fixed, the staff was very understanding and helpful. The location is perfect for any first year, although there is a lot of greek life.

Great amenities and staff. Granville is close to classes, holds regular resident events, and has everything you could want or need. I highly recommend staying here.

The best place to be in Chapel Hill given it is on Franklin street and as close to classes on North Campus as possible. The food is great and the staff are extremely friendly as well!
Christian H.
So far my experience as a residence has been pretty solid. The people are cool and the food is above average for what you would expect for a college cafeteria. I can’t complain.
Nicholas C.
My experience has beeen great! The maintenance staff is always really nice and fixes my issues immediately. I love that there is a gym right downstairs that I can visit at almost any time I want.
Jada F.
People are energetic, but some noises still exist after the quiet hour. The staff and maintenance are caring and helpful. However, infrastructure, especially air conditioning is too noisy.

I have loved living in Granville due to the convenience of getting around Chapel Hill. The people living here, on the other hand, not so much.

Granville is a great place to live on campus. It is close to all my classes and the room size is amazing compared to most dorms! I would recommend getting a meal plan both at the Argora and on campus. Just for convenience.

I love living here! Location is great, amenities are awesome, and I thoroughly love my room. Couldn't ask for more in choosing where to live!
robi*@*.com
The food is great and the services along with social events. The noise level and quiet hours is not respected on my hall. Inclusion is not evident. The bathroom is very small in comparison to some dorms on south campus which is unexpected.
Ngan T.
I love staying at Granville! It is the best dorm on Campus! I've recommended it to all of my friends! The distance from campus is so convenient!
tayl*@*.edu
I honestly love it here! The room is bigger than I had originally expected, and it's on north campus, so it's super convenient for classes! Also, it's on Franklin, so that's easily accessible, and there's a Target located right outside that's perfect for anything you may need.

I love the location and the people who work at Granville. The Agora is one of the best places to eat food on campus. I wouldn't what to live anywhere else

I think Granville is great!! I love how spacious the rooms are, and I like how it is only 4 to one bathroom versus 8 to one. I also like that they are close to my classes!
Leeann C.
The heating system could be better, but the food is dope. The rooms are super nice, and its really close to campus. Everyone on staff is super nice. The parking isn't great though.
Kirstyn E.
The Traditional Double at Granville has a really great layout and the Agora makes dining very convenient. Sometimes people can be rowdy during quiet hours, but the RA on duty can be called if it becomes too noisy.

I have been very satisfied so far with my experience of living at Granville Towers. From the great food at the Agora to having house cleaning come once a week, my experience has been wonderful!

Lately construction has been keeping me up in the mornings but cute dorms and nice community for the most part. I love most of the Ag workers but there’s one grumpy cook. Had some maintenance issues in the beginning of the year.

I really love the location. It is unbeatable. The food at the agora is pretty good. My only complaint is the heating and air conditioning. It is impossible to actually keep your room at a good temperature.
Richard D.
I love Granville!! I love being close to classes, the Agora, and I am so thankful for how it is set up. I am thankful for the sink in our room and only sharing a bathroom with 4 people

Living standards are great, the Agora does an excellent job of mixing up the food options so that you don't get tired of it after 2 weeks. The gym is a little small but that's ok.

Granville towers is filled with fun people. The dorms are large; but dirty. The Agora serves mediocre food, but late night is where it is at! Love my suite & the people I met.
