Housing Information
On-Campus:
The residence halls at Georgia Tech provide housing that is convenient and affordable for students. For information about the types of housing available on campus and cost per semester, please see the Georgia Tech Housing website: http://www.housing.gatech.edu. If you would like on campus housing, please submit a housing interest form with your application. Once officially accepted, you will then be contacted to pay the $600 deposit and complete the online housing application.
On-campus housing is not available to exchange students who are only at Georgia Tech for the fall semester (Except for those accepted to the I-House). This is unfortunately the result of a general shortage of housing, in an urban campus, where space is limited even for students living on-campus for the full academic year.
I-House: There are 8-10 places reserved in the International House “I-House” for undergraduate exchange students each fall and spring semester. This is the only on-campus housing option available to students who choose to study at Georgia Tech for only the fall semester. To learn more about this option take a look at this website: www.oie.gatech.edu/i-house. After you have been accepted for exchange study at Georgia Tech you will be contacted regarding the special application process for exchange students. Do not apply for housing online or pay the $600 deposit yet as the website instructs you to do – I will give you instructions on when to pay the $600 deposit if you are chosen for the I-House.
Off-Campus:
Unfortunately, the Office of International Education cannot secure off-campus housing for exchange students. If you are here for fall semester only or are choosing not to live on campus, you will be responsible for securing your own housing. You can do this in advance or secure temporary housing and search when you first arrive. While we cannot find housing for you, we are happy to help advise you on location, safety or general questions about off-campus housing. Below is further
