Penland Housing

Penland housing is quite simple. Buildings are not air-conditioned—the climate is moderate and you can count on cool temperatures at night. Furnishing is basic: a bed and a place to put your clothes. Dormitories are housing units with between four and thirteen beds per room (no bunks). Some of our housing is located one-half mile from the center of campus. Many folks welcome the extra walk, but please let us know if this will present a physical hardship for you.

Here is a representative sample of some Penland rooms in various buildings.
