We are pleased to share that 97 percent of first-year students choose to live on campus each year. While it is not required, it is highly encouraged as we are able to provide first-year students the support they need to thrive. See the First-Year Wellness Experience page for information on all the benefits of living on campus as a first-year student.

Stay informed about important dates and deadlines for Housing at Georgia Tech.
The housing application process and timeline for students who are new to Georgia Tech are different than they are for returning students. First-year, new transfer, and new graduate students have unique admission timelines that impact when you can apply for housing. Most importantly, all incoming students must be admitted and committed to Georgia Tech by paying the Admission Deposit before access is granted to My Housing.
Please remember that housing is not required and not guaranteed for any student.
