CAMPUS HOUSING

Georgia Tech Dormitories and Apartments
Living on campus is an excellent way to practice your English. When rooms are available, you will be assigned to the same dormitories as regular Georgia Tech students, so you will have plenty of opportunities to practice your English.

Language Institute students can usually live on campus from January to August (Spring 1 & 2 and Summer sessions)—it all depends on room availability. Room requests must be made to the Language Institute. Contact the student adviser, Jackie Ramezani at jackie.ramezani@esl.gatech.edu, to learn about room availability.

Dormitory Styles

• Traditional: (females only) You share a room with another student and use the community bathroom on each floor.
• Suite: Again you share a room with another student and a bathroom with another room. The bathroom separates the two rooms.
• Apartments: You have an individual room, but share your bathroom with one or two other students. All apartments have four or six bedrooms. All apartment residents share a living room, dining area, and kitchen. The cost is approximately $3,163 a semester (4 months).

Please note that space is limited in traditional- and suite-style dorms. The Department of Housing places most ESL students in apartments.

Each dormitory has a common study lounge, small kitchen, workout room and laundry facilities. Check with the Language Institute student adviser for an up-to-date price list.
