Grad School Housing is More Grown Up 

Because Grad School Needs Are Different

For students heading to Grad School, finding an apartment if they go to a different university entails completely different criteria. Many students switch schools for their graduate studies, which means new housing options. Grad School housing comes with its own unique challenges. With expensive tuition and long study sessions, the last thing they must worry about is finding an apartment at or near UGA.

UGA is actually very unique since they offer on-campus housing for Grad Students specifically. Although this housing can sometimes be shared with an overflow of undergraduate students, especially when other housing buildings are under construction, UGA does give priority to Grad Students in certain buildings. Three different complexes offer up one- and two-bedroom options for graduate students to live in. These are on campus and are unfurnished.

• The Rogers Road Community has unfurnished one-bedroom, one-bath, two-bedroom, one-bath apartments equipped with a full-sized kitchen with major appliances and access to a laundry room.
• The Brandon Oaks Community comprises unfurnished two-bedroom, two-bath apartments with decks or patios.
• The University Village community also comprises one- and two-bedroom, unfurnished apartments. These are aimed at Grad Students with families and children due to the convenience to an onsite courtyard, lawn, and playground. A roommate option is available in designated buildings for graduate students wishing to live with another graduate student.
• The UGA School of Law also keeps a list of those looking to post a housing opportunity and a list of those looking to find a roommate.
• The UGA Vet School also had a list, although it is from last year, of students seeking roommates. We would recommend contacting the College of Veterinary Medicine for a current list.
• For Grad Students who desire to live off-campus, we have an entire blog dedicated to all the different housing options in Athens. From townhomes to houses to apartments, many different places cater to different types of people who desire different price ranges, amenities, and locations.
