Housing

Language Institute students choose a variety of housing options.

Off-Campus Housing

Off-campus housing is available year-round. Students can choose from a variety of different housing types, locations, and prices. When considering off-campus options, students should keep the following information in mind:

  • Off-campus student apartments function like a private dormitory and generally have easy access to the Georgia Tech campus. Students will be responsible for paying the rent for their bedroom only. These apartments are always furnished and include utilities. Students will have a private bedroom but may share a bathroom, kitchen, and common area with 1-3 roommates, depending on the property and available apartments.
  • Off-campus traditional apartments are located throughout the city. The communities closest to Georgia Tech are Midtown and Buckhead. Traditional apartments are almost always unfurnished and the student will be responsible for paying the rent for the entire apartment as well as all utilities.
  • Villa International functions similarly to a hostel but it is exclusively for international visitors to Atlanta. Students may select a private room or share a room depending on your preferences and availability. Bathrooms may also be private or shared. There will also be a shared kitchen and common space available to residents.
The chart below lists places where Language Institute students have lived recently. 

Neither Georgia Tech nor the Language Institute is able to recommend or directly promote any of these options, and neither is responsible for your choice of housing. Housing contracts (leases) are binding legal documents and are usually one year in length.
