Housing and Residence Life at Georgia Tech welcomes home to campus nearly 9,000 residents each year. We are so excited you have chosen to be a part of our community this year!

The Department of Housing and Residence Life offers quality, safe, well-maintained residential facilities.

We encourage, promote, and facilitate customer focused programs and services which attract students to our facilities and to Georgia Tech.

We provide physical, programmatic, and technological systems to enhance the quality of life on campus, to support the academic needs of resident students and to complement the academic goals of the Institute.

As Residence Life, we commit to the creation of environments in alignment with the Institute’s values by facilitating purposeful opportunities for residents to live, learn, work, and play. Such environments, and their activities, will motivate students to serve as Georgia Tech leaders in society.
