The apartments are equipped with high-speed internet and washer and dryer units in each apartment.

> Transportation:
Wolf Ridge is on the free Wolfline bus system for easy access to all campus facilities. GoRaleigh provides bus service throughout Raleigh while GoTriangle provides regional service to surrounding areas including Durham and Chapel Hill. You may also consider the LimeScooter share service.
> Stipend Pay Schedule (tentative)
The total stipend for the summer is $4,500 (this may not apply to students not living in the US). Depending on your residency status, an initial payment of $1500 will be upon arrival. Subsequent $1500 payments are tentatively scheduled for June 24 and July 23.
> Health Services:
The department will purchase a supplemental “campers insurance” that will allow you to receive care at Student Health Services for accidental medical expenses as a result of an accident without any co-pay due at the time of services. In the event of illness, you may receive care at Student Health Services but they are only considered “in-network” by Blue Cross, Aetna, and Cigna. If you have any other insurance carrier, in case of illness you may also receive care at an Urgent Care facility in the area. Please be sure to bring your insurance card with you.
> Gym Access:
In addition to the on-site recreation room at Wolf Village, the participants will have access to the Carmichael Gymnasium and Recreation Center during the program.
