Georgia Tech Housing offers traditional, suite, and apartment-style rooms. The on-campus rate includes all utilities and high-speed internet, and Georgia Tech says it has 50 residence halls housing over 9,000 residents.
- Use the Housing website to compare buildings and take virtual tours before you choose.
- On-campus housing is designed for a range of students, including graduate students and families.
- Assistance animals must be registered with the Office of Disability Services.
Applying for on-campus housing
New first-year, new transfer, and new graduate students must be accepted to Georgia Tech before they can apply for on-campus housing. The application opens in early spring in the My Housing portal, and Georgia Tech says room-selection numbers are assigned in the order applications are completed, so earlier applications give more options.
- Georgia Tech Housing does not guarantee housing, and contracts are for a space on campus, not a specific assignment.
- For exchange students, full academic-year students can apply after admission; fall-only exchange students are eligible only if they participate in a Living Learning Community.
- Georgia Tech lists fall and spring deadlines in its housing information, so check the current portal for the exact cycle.
Off-campus housing and nearby areas
Georgia Tech’s off-campus marketplace is built for students and community members and includes listings, renter education modules, and roommate and sublease tools. Nearby neighborhood guidance from Georgia Tech points to Midtown, Downtown/Centennial Place, and Buckhead as common areas to consider.
- Midtown is described as relatively walkable to campus.
- Downtown and Centennial Place are a fit if you want easy access to campus plus MARTA and downtown attractions.
- Buckhead is farther from campus and generally requires MARTA or a car, but it has major shopping and dining.
How to choose between on-campus and off-campus
If you want the simplest setup, on-campus housing is the cleanest route because utilities and internet are bundled and the buildings are managed by Georgia Tech. If you want more independence, the off-campus marketplace and neighborhood guides help you compare student-oriented apartments and city neighborhoods near campus.
- On campus: best when you want bundled basics and a campus-centered living experience.
- Midtown or Downtown/Centennial Place: best when you want to stay close to campus and transit.
- Buckhead: better if you want a farther, more city-wide Atlanta setup and don’t mind transit or driving.
