Your quick guide to living, learning and playing at JWU Charlotte.
In Cedar Hall North, you’ll have space to make campus your own while joining a community of fellow first-year students in the heart of a thriving city. You can also apply to bring your pet through JWU’s Pet & Animal Friendly (PAF) Community Living program.
From exploring the city to getting involved in the campus’ 30 student clubs &organizations to competing on one of JWU Charlotte’s 12 varsity sports teams, there’s no shortage of excitement and ways to make friends here.
I love that I’m able to walk off campus and be right in the heart of expanding business and hospitality opportunities. Daniel Reid '26, Culinary Nutrition
