Start out your career at Carolina by becoming familiar with all we have to offer to make your campus experience pleasurable. From Commuter Resources to “Friday Nights on the Front Porch,” Carolina provides resources to help make getting around campus, both day and night, easier for you.

Carolina Club

The Carolina Club is a member-supported dining club created for alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It provides a pleasant, upscale environment for meeting colleagues and friends, entertaining guests and dining in warm and friendly on-campus surroundings.

Located in the George Watts Hill Alumni Center between Stadium Drive and the Rams Head Center, the club is a gathering place on work days and game days. Membership is available to alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the University who are at least 21 years old and members of the General Alumni Association. For membership information, call the Carolina Club at (919) 962-1101.

Carolina Inn

Affectionately known as the University’s living room, the Carolina Inn has been one of the region’s most popular sites for academic conferences, business meetings, weddings and other important events since it opened in 1924. The Inn is listed on the National Register of Historical Places and boasts a four-diamond rating from AAA and a four-star rating from Mobil.

A favorite gathering place for work lunches and dinner before a show at Memorial Hall, the Carolina Inn is always full up on weekends when there’s a Carolina home football or basketball game. And Friday Nights on the Front Porch, featuring bluegrass music and seasonal food offerings on the front lawn, are a big draw for campus families and neighbors from across the Triangle.
