The NC State PGM program has worked with University Housing to offer PGM students housing in the same residence hall (Avent Ferry Residence Hall) if students desire. The PGM faculty / staff do not require students to live in the same hall. Students may live in AF but not room with a PGM student. Students wishing to bring a vehicle to campus are encouraged to live in AF due to parking availability. > > back to top 8. Can I have a car on campus? At this time all PGM students may apply for a parking permit. Due to the nature of the program and students needing to travel to various golf courses in the area for play, practice, player development and service learning activities, University Transportation will grant parking permits to all students who bring a vehicle to campus. Parking permits may not be issued to areas directly near residence halls. Only students residing in Avent Ferry Residence Hall will have close access to his / her vehicle. Other permits may be granted for parking lots on the outer fringes of campus. NC State University is mainly a pedestrian campus and parking permits issued for these areas is common. > > back to top |
