Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Housing off campus is reasonably convenient, and is necessary for many students who cannot get housing on campus after freshman year. The best deal is in Centennial Place Apartments, located between Luckie Street and Techwood Avenue, which is also called Centennial Olympic Park Drive. These apartments are a mere 5- to 10-minute walk from campus, making a car unnecessary for the everyday commute to class. For affordable rent at any development, roommates are necessary. If one is willing to endure a short drive to campus each day, a variety of choices for housing is available in the vicinity of Northside Drive or Howell Mill Road, just north of campus.

For safety, it is usually advisable not to venture too far south of campus on Northside Drive for housing. If you must, stay in the midtown and downtown areas. Usually, rent and utilities for an apartment off campus are less expensive than the cost of a dorm room on campus. Apartments are also much larger and offer various other amenities that students might enjoy, such as laundry facilities, private workout equipment, hot tubs, and pools.

Parking Sucks

Parking is so expensive everywhere, unless it's a Friday night on Tech Square

Midtown Apartment

These apartments are really close to the campus. You can take Tech Trolley to campus if you don't have a ride or to lazy to drive. It's also near a grocery store which has a not-bad price for its food and stuffs. The only thing about this apartment is that it's in the city so the price is not as low as it should be for students. Its about $500 something with $80 parking fee per month. But it's still cheaper than living in the dorm for sure.
