West Georgia operates ten residence halls which vary in style, size, and age. A close relationship between the Director of Residence Life and the Director of Operations and Grounds is maintained in order to insure that these residence halls are kept clean and operational. Students are encouraged to report maintenance and housekeeping problems to the hall staff to be passed on to the Operations and Grounds personnel.

The residence life staff recognizes that the primary reason students come to West Georgia is to complete a degree. In order to increase the chances for success, the residence life office provides a variety of services which are designed to assist the students. Courtesy and quiet hours are maintained in each residence hall to help create an environment conducive to study and sleep. Additionally, a series of programs is provided in the residence halls which assist in academic skills such as note taking, test taking and studying.
Perhaps the most prominent purpose in the residence halls is that of assisting students in their own personal growth and development. Numerous social and educational programs are presented in the residence halls to encourage residents to explore values and social relationships and to apply classroom learning to real-life situations. Additionally, students are encouraged to become involved in the governance structure within the residence halls. Hall Government provides numerous opportunities for growth and the development of leadership skills.
