Housing and Transportation
Housing
Wake Forest does not have on-campus university housing for graduate students. LL.M. students have, however, many other housing alternatives:
- University-owned housing for international and graduate students directly across the street from the law school
- Privately-owned, off-campus apartments and rental houses within walking distance of the law school
- Privately-owned, off-campus apartments and rental houses convenient to the law school by car
You may also want to rent an apartment with one of our JD students, with whom we can put you in contact. In the spring after you have been accepted, we will mail to you lists of the various housing options.
Other University offices that maintain lists of available off-campus housing include:
- Wake Forest University Properties
- Law School Admissions Office Housing list
- Wake Forest University Residence Life and Housing Rental Opportunities
- Click on “Off-Campus Rentals and Roommate Search” near the bottom of the page
Here are some great resources and guides to off-campus living.
The University also maintains a list of hotels that are close to the campus.

Transportation
Wake Forest offers free weekday shuttle service to and from campus for students who live in nearby apartment complexes, including Crowne Polo, Crowne Park, Corners at Crystal Lake, Alaris Village, Deacon Ridge, and Crowne Oaks. For more information about the shuttle service, go to http://www.wfu.edu/ridethewake/.
Some of our LLM students purchase inexpensive used automobiles when they arrive in the U.S. to make their stay more convenient. They often resell these cars to other LLM or JD students after graduation. For additional details about owning and driving automobiles in North Carolina, visit the Center for International Studies website.
Public transportation is not readily available to the extent it exists in European and Asian countries. There is only a limited public bus transit system in Winston-Salem. Most people rely on private automobiles. You may wish to view a Reynolda Campus Map of Wake Forest University and the city of Winston-Salem.
