Housing guidance for Georgia Institute of Technology.
Yes, within the inventory available when the student's room-selection time arrives.
Can my student choose a residence hall and room type?
Eligible first-year students receive a randomized room-selection time ticket and then choose from available buildings/rooms that match the filters in My Housing. Availability can change continuously, so a preferred hall or room type may be gone by the student's selection time.
When will my student receive their housing assignment?
Georgia Tech's 2026–27 first-year timeline set roommate search for June 8, LLC room selection for June 22–23, and regular first-year room selection for June 26 through July 1 at 5:00 p.m. Students should check My Housing for their exact time ticket and assignment.
Are single rooms available?
Georgia Tech’s 2026–27 housing rate and building pages publish single-occupancy graduate-apartment and private-bedroom configurations. First-year traditional housing is largely shared, and no student should treat a single as guaranteed. The available room list in My Housing at the student’s selection time controls what the student can actually choose.
What is the difference between traditional, connecting/private-bath and apartment-style Georgia Tech housing?
Georgia Tech's room guide defines traditional, suite and apartment layouts. First-year traditional halls are mostly two-person rooms with community bathrooms. Harris and Woodruff suites contain two two-person rooms sharing one full bathroom. Apartments provide private bedrooms, semiprivate bathrooms and full kitchens/common areas.
How many students share a bathroom?
Georgia Tech does not have one bathroom-sharing number across campus. The published room guide says traditional residents use community bathrooms, suite-style residents in Harris/Woodruff share one full bathroom across two double rooms, and apartments have semiprivate bathrooms.
How big are Georgia Tech dorm rooms?
Georgia Tech's first-time-resident FAQ publishes approximate ranges by building—for example, many traditional rooms are roughly in the 12-by-10 to 15-by-11-foot range, while suite and apartment bedrooms vary. Families should use the specific hall floor plan for the assigned room rather than buy furniture from a campus-wide average.
What furniture is already provided?
Georgia Tech's room guide lists the standard bedroom furniture and requires University furniture to remain in the assigned space. Apartment common areas and kitchens include additional furniture/appliances described by room style.
What size sheets does my student need?
Georgia Tech identifies the residence-hall mattress as Twin XL and lists the common bed dimensions as about 38 inches wide by 85.5 inches long. The move-in packing page specifically recommends extra-long twin sheets.
Can the bed be raised, bunked or lofted?
Georgia Tech says custom lofts may not be constructed. Many beds can be set low, medium, high or bunked, but adjustments must be performed by Housing maintenance staff or authorized contractors; bed rails are required when raised above the specified height.
Do Georgia Tech residence halls have air conditioning?
Housing publishes room/building information and environmental-growth guidance that assumes building HVAC/air conditioning operation. Students should use the assigned hall's page and facilities guidance for thermostat or airflow details and report HVAC problems through Housing Facilities.
Can my student bring a refrigerator and microwave?
Georgia Tech's move-in packing page allows a small refrigerator no larger than 4.5 cubic feet and a microwave rated under 10 amps or 1,200 watts. Roommates should coordinate so they do not duplicate large shared items.
