Review Housing Options & Meal Plans
One of the most important steps to arrange before arriving in the U.S. is where you will live: Housing. Georgia State does not guarantee housing for all students as there is a limited supply of on-campus housing. However, Atlanta has abundant, affordable housing off-campus too.
On-Campus Housing
On-campus housing is only available through University Housing. On-campus housing is convenient, cost-effective, safe, and simple to reserve. However, space is very limited.
Apply for housing as soon as possible in order to secure the kind of housing arrangements you desire, i.e. number of rooms, amenities, location, etc. You can find more information about on-campus housing and start the housing application at the University Housing website.
After applying for housing, you will be assigned to the wait-list. This does not guarantee you a room. You must receive a rooming confirmation for a guarantee of a room. All questions about on-campus housing should be emailed to University Housing at [email protected].
