The Department of University Housing

Welcome to UGA! One of the Department of University Housing's key goals is to provide a residential setting where academic success and personal growth are primary concerns. The University's 20 residence halls are home to approximately 7,000 fellow students who share some of the same dreams and aspirations. The residence halls are located within the seven residential communities located on campus.

Known for its programming excellence, student leadership opportunities, and the ever-popular Rotunda, the all-women Brumby Community is composed of four colonies, each housing approximately 250 students.

Creswell Hall is a co-ed community which houses around 975 students in its four colonies. Creswell is known for its strong participation in community service projects throughout the year, as well as opportunities for student leadership and social center.

The newest addition to on-campus living is the East Campus Village. Opened Fall 2004 it is the University's first foray into apartment-style residential facilities geared toward the more independent lifestyles of older upperclassmen.

In Hill Community there are six halls, one all-female and five coeducational, which house approximately 1,300 students. Several of these halls have a shared hall government system and a student staff that provides opportunities for personal involvement in social, academic, athletic, and recreational activities.

Myers Community houses a variety of programs within its four halls. One hall houses a program for students of French and Spanish, while another has been designated as a magnet residence hall for the Honors Program. Students in the Reed Community are known for their involvement in countless campus issues and activities. Two of the three halls are open year-round for students requiring housing throughout the break periods and/or calendar year.

Housing approximately 975 men and women, Russell Community offers numerous resident leadership roles. The resident councils typically provide a myriad of intramural, educational, cultural, and social programs and activities.

In addition to these communities, the University offers Family and Graduate housing for students to provide convenient and comfortable living at a minimal cost. Nearly 1,300 graduate students and their families live in one- and two-bedroom apartments in one of our three on-campus communities.
