Compare the rent, the cost of owning, and the decision after graduation near Emory.
START WITH EMORY
Know what the school requires.
Emory requires first- and second-year students to live on campus. Its 2026–27 second-year guide confirms that requirement. Confirm eligibility or any exception before committing to private housing; Emory’s vendor-supported off-campus directory is a separate resource, and Housing Operations does not manage those listings.

See the costs through the final year.
Complete the costs before comparing. Blank means unknown; it never means zero.
Monthly amortization; debt stops at payoff. Selling proceeds include the remaining loan and selling costs. Rent and owner-cost growth change annually; roommate receipts reflect the entered vacancy rate. The discount rate accounts for the alternative use of money. Tax cost or benefit is your explicit assumption; no tax benefit, appreciation or eligibility is promised. Refundable deposits are excluded from net cost.
DAILY LIFE
The right route matters.
Selecting a neighborhood also narrows the property cards to that recorded neighborhood. Straight-line distance is not walking or driving time.
CHECK BEFORE COMMITTING
Keep the plan realistic.
