Gettysburg College
- Off-Campus Housing

Commuting

Gettysburg is pretty bad about commuters- this counts as off-campus housing to them, but with a lot less benefits. Commuters are only allowed to park in the parking lot farthest away from the school, and it is the lot for service vehicles and unpaved. However, the school only charges you $20 for your parking permit rather than the usual $80. Teachers are really bad with commuters, and the amount of group projects and labs makes it difficult if you live more than 15 minutes away.

Theme Housing Anyone?

Most students live on campus, but theme-housing is popular. Join an existing theme house, like Peace House, or petition the college to create one of your own. The college is located on the side of the town, and the townspeople are used to college students renting apartments/houses, so they are not hard to find. All are within walking distance, parking may or may not sometimes be an issue.

Housing in Gettysburg

Gettysburg housing selection is pretty interesting. Of course for Freshmen living, there are atsandard dormitories, but once you are an upperclassman, you have the choice of living with whom you want. Many students battle for the best apartment complexes on campus, but that depends on your grades and what lottery number you are given. I believe that the lottery numbers are based on graduation dates. The dormitories and apartments are decent; it's all a matter of how lucky you are with your lottery number and grades.
