Off-Campus Housing

Many students live successfully in the greater Atlanta area while enjoying the many benefits and opportunities for involvement in both the campus and local community. We want to support your search for a living situation that fits your unique needs. 

We are excited to partner with College Pads to offer students the rental expertise and know-how of this team of professionals.  From the site, students will be able to use robust search functions to explore living options in the local community.

Off-Campus Housing Fair

The off-campus housing fair will occur in March to assist students looking for accommodations for the upcoming academic year. The fair provides an opportunity for you to explore off-campus housing in a convenient on campus venue. Participants will range from individual property owners to large apartment complexes.  You are encouraged to visit the property of interest to determine if it is conducive to your needs and lifestyle. 

Representatives from various community organizations will be available to give you up-to-date information on their services and benefits.
