Gender Inclusive Housing
A student’s “home away from home” and “family away from family” are essential components to the overall college experience and can greatly influence academic and social success. To that end and with our commitment to a strong community based on diversity, equality, and inclusion, Guilford College offers gender inclusive housing options and policies which acknowledge, affirm, and respect the diversity of our students including those for whom "same-sex" roommate assignments are neither ideal nor appropriate. With more options to find roommates who are truly compatible, students will have greater opportunities to create more comfortable and safe environments for themselves.
