Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Dorms on campus are notoriously expensive, and accommodations leave something to be desired. Freshman dorms on East Campus are mostly small, two-person rooms about 12 feet by 14 feet in size. Sections of eight to ten rooms share a common bathroom with multiple open showers. The West Campus freshman dorms are markedly nicer, but all freshman dorms have common bathroom facilities.

On East Campus, the upperclassman dorms of choice used to be Harris Hall and Fourth Street Apartments; however, with Georgia Tech’s recent acquisition of the North Avenue Apartments, many upperclassmen opt to live there. Woodruff, a living center for upperclassmen, houses one bathroom with two showers between every pair of rooms. Sixth Street Apartments, Eighth Street Apartments, and Hemphill Apartments all house apartments of varying size and each have a kitchen, living area, and full bathrooms.

Freshman Experience Program

My first year in college has been wonderful and comfortable thanks to the freshman experience program. This program requires students to live in freshman dorms and sign up for a meal-plan - it is the BEST way to smoothly transit into college life. One has the option of choosing a two or four person dorm - and you grow really close to your dorm mate over the year. Every floor also has 2 Peer Leaders - these are upperclassmen who live on your hall and are ever ready to help you, listen to you, offer advice or even just take you out and show you the best restaurants in town! Our peer leaders also organize events and programs that build the "community" among freshmen. It is a great program!

Dorms are conveniently located - mine is right across the Football Stadium, which I enjoy. However, one can choose to live in quieter areas that are just as safe and convenient.

Good Bet

The freshman doors are pretty tight with two to a small room. Despite this the dorms have a great network RA's and older leaders to provide support and help when needed. The upperclassman doors are actually quite nice and everyone gets there own bedroom that locks and shares a huge kitchen, living room, and two full bathrooms with 3 roommates. The dorms are safe but also easy going. People do not get in trouble all the time for stuff but quite time is respected. Also, it is no problem to bring visitors over or have parties as long as they are not out of control. It should be a sign that over 40% of students live on campus which is way high compared to other big schools.
