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.

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.

The Residential Lifestyle

Most of the dorms at Tech are four floors, either all male or all female, and accommodate a variety of students. If they have not been recently renovated, they are soon to be renovated. Although Housing is a bit expensive at Tech - $2,600 this past semester for me - it has definitely been the simpler path for me to take.

There are plenty of people to meet, always something to do on campus, and there is just a more communal lifestyle to it. A lot of the friends you make and people you meet in the dorms will follow you for quite some time.

A lot of people on campus tend to favor West Campus, but I have lived on East Campus this past semester. The general consensus is that while West Campus Housing is a bit nicer, East Campus Housing is more convenient. I, personally, am all for East. Overall, Housing is very accommodating if a bit expensive.
