Housing

The Language Institute can assist students with a variety of housing options.

On-Campus Housing: GT Dormitories (Typically available from January to July)

Living on campus is an excellent way to practice English. When rooms are available, students will be assigned to the same dormitories as regular Georgia Tech students, so there will be plenty of opportunities to practice English. Georgia Tech requires that a student must be 25 years old or younger in order to live on campus.
