Thrive in a safe, supportive, community-oriented living space at Northampton Community College (NCC). We are the only community college with on-campus housing in Pennsylvania, with nearly 600 students choosing to call our Bethlehem campus “home” each year.

Housing Options

In your first year at NCC, you can apply to live in the Residence Hall Commons, a traditional college housing community with single- and double-occupancy rooms, study lounges, social spaces and laundry rooms.

As a second-year or returning student, you may apply to stay in the Residence Hall Commons or move to the Apartments. Each apartment includes a full kitchen, living room, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with access to the laundry rooms.

Housing Application Process

Once you’ve applied to NCC, you can complete the Housing Application and pay the $225 housing application fee. We prioritize applications in the order we receive them, and housing decisions are contingent on a disciplinary check and a minimum enrollment of 9 credits each semester.
