Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Each hall has an RA whose two sole purposes in life are to answer any questions residents have, and to try to keep order in the building—neither being an easy task. Each hall has its own parties and socials every so often, and there is definitely a sense of community within every hall. And, get this—the bathrooms are usually very clean, except during football game weekends. One time, a bathroom in Creswell was shut down because it had become a biological hazard over one weekend, which is gross, but it was up and running by Monday. The maintenance staff in the dorms are very nice, as well. All the dorms now have air-conditioning. If you are lucky enough to have an individual unit in your room, like Creswell residents for example, count your blessings. The dorms with central air are usually on the warm side. You can open your windows, but this does not always help.

The Myers, Rutherford, and Mary Lyndon quad is a very popular place to hang out and play ultimate Frisbee. Even before renovations, Myers was a very popular dorm. It is also close to Snelling, which is a big plus. If you live in an all-female dorm, especially Brumby, it can seem to be overrun with sorority girls at times. Many people complain that they feel like they are the only girls on campus who didn’t rush. The East Campus Village was designed to resemble apartments in an effort to keep students on campus. They offer 1,200 beds, and preference is given to students who have spent the most time in a dorm.

Living on Campus

The dorms are horrible because they are usually 12 x 12 room you have to share with a stranger. And the bathrooms are hard to keep clean.

Decent Housing

There are lots of housing options on campus. From the classic high-rise dorm room, to apartment styles, and everything in between, UGA offers it. Housing is not guaranteed for upperclassmen though.

Ups and Downs of Dorm Life

Living on campus has it's perks- meeting new people and being on campus, which makes it a great thing for freshman because the first year you're here you want to meet new people and be on campus to really be involved. However, dorms tend to be really small and you don't have as much privacy as you would if you lived off campus.
