How to Apply for New Student Housing
The application will ask you for your top 3 building choices and asks a series of questions designed to help match you with a roommate. Before you fill out the housing application, you should first read over the information on this page carefully, including the housing contract. -
1. Do you need to request special consideration regarding your housing assignment? Make sure to follow the procedure outlined by Student Disability Services.
-
2. Make sure your ID and Password have been set up, and that when set up, you are checking your MyUWG email account regularly.
Your ID Number will be your social security number, and your PIN is the last 2 digits of your birth year followed by the last 4 digits of your social security number. Example: If your social security number is 123-45-6789 and birth year is 1990, then your login information will be: ID = 1234567890 Pin = 9067893
Read over the entire housing contract. You can either read it online or print it out.
-
3. Read over the Freshman Housing FAQ page. This is very important - the FAQ has all the information you need to successfully apply for housing, including a helpful chart showing all of the buildings that have space available for freshmen students.
-
4. Think about the kind of community in which you want to live. We recommend that incoming freshman and new students ask themselves the following questions before filling out the housing application, and then read over the housing descriptions online to decide where to apply. In order to narrow down your building choices to just three, you should ask yourself:
-
Do I want to live in co-ed or single gendered housing? What would be the best environment for you – a large (300+ neighbors) building, or a smaller community with less than 200 neighbors? As a freshman, your classes will be held all over campus, however, we encourage our freshmen to ask themselves, what kind of amenities do you want to live near?
-
Would I prefer to live closer to the academic quad, Bowdon, Boykin, Downs, Gunn are within a 3-minute walk. Or would you prefer to live closer to the dining hall in our apartment community, Arbor View. Centrally located and close to class and the dining options are the University Suites, with Strozier and Watson as their immediate neighbors. Would you prefer to live in a building where all of your neighbors are freshmen, or do I want to live in a building with a mix of freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors? Bowdon, Downs, Gunn, Watson and Strozier are 'all freshman' traditional style buildings - all of the residents except for Resident Assistants (RA) are freshmen. The other traditional style option, Boykin, will offer a community with a mixed population. .

If you are an Advanced Academy student you will automatically be assigned to Gunn Hall. However, you must complete the Advanced Academy housing contract.
