How does the housing system work?

Hello,

I was recently accepted into Georgia Tech. I am confused as to how the application for housing works. So I went on the housing application, signed the contract and everything, but was never given the option to choose where id prefer to live, like which dorm and everything? Do we not get the option to choose where we’d preferably stay for our freshman dorms? Also, is the freshman experience program worth signing up for, and what is it?

Thanks

I have the same questions. In addition to the questions stated above, how does choosing roommates work in Georgia Tech? I’m an out-of-state student, what will happen if I don’t choose my roommate, will they randomly assign me a roommate?

Frshman experience program is definitely worth it. And if you don’t pick a roommate one will be assigned

Have you paid the housing deposit? You do have to do that before you can continue the process.

The freshman experience is some planned social events. I think most every dorm offers it. There is not a lot of differences between dorms at Gatech, but east versus west side of campus should be considered. East is near Tech Square and the football stadium. West is near the swimming pool and Recreation Center. You can walk from east to west in about 15 minutes, or catch a bus. Classes are in between the two. The MARTA leaves from Tech Square area, but students can get across campus pretty easily if they use MARTA to get to airport.
