A hotel in North Carolina is giving guests the opportunity to live like Michael Jordan did during his college days.

Graduate Hotels is opening a location in Chapel Hill this fall that will include a recreation of Jordan's University of North Carolina dorm room, according to ESPN's Kieran Darcy. Dubbed "The Jordan Suite," it will fittingly be located in room No. 23.

"The room is an identical replica," Graduate Hotels CEO Ben Weprin said. "From the ceiling, to the brick wall, to the record player and records, the posters, the pennants - every single piece in that room, we have it."

Sports Illustrated photographed Jordan's dorm room in 1983.

The new hotel will be decked out with other Jordan-related memorabilia, too, including game-worn sneakers from 1983, a $5 check Jordan cashed after he won a game of pool, and his student ID card.

Jordan played three seasons for the Tar Heels before the Bulls drafted him in 1984.
