Homecoming is one of Johnson C. Smith University's best-known recurring traditions. It brings alumni and current students together around university events and Golden Bulls athletics, connecting today's campus with its HBCU history.
Welcome Week provides programming for students beginning an academic year, while Bull Fest is identified among the university's campus events. The activities and dates associated with either event can change from year to year. Students who want to participate, rather than rely on a past schedule, should check the current student activities calendar. These events are social opportunities, but they also offer newer students a practical way to find organizations and become familiar with campus.
Johnson C. Smith University offers college-operated undergraduate housing, including coeducational housing, but the availability of residence space should not be confused with a guaranteed assignment. Students should review the current housing application, deposit, and assignment process for their entry term.
Campus housing reports high-speed internet access and electronically controlled entrances. A substantial share of students live on campus, while others commute; applicants should choose between those arrangements using their actual class schedule, transportation options, and aid offer. First-year students should factor in the reported restriction on registering or parking a car on campus.
Students living in residence halls should check which meal-plan choices or requirements apply to their assignment and which campus dining locations accept the plan. Housing and meal charges are additional to published tuition and required fees, so the full residential cost should be compared with the current financial aid offer before a housing agreement is signed.
