STUDENT-ATHLETE HOUSING<br />
The majority of <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> student-athletes are housed in either the<br />
<strong>University</strong> Lofts or the <strong>University</strong> Commons. Both facilities provide the student-athletes<br />
a safe, comfortable place to call home during the academic year.<br />
Most <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> student-athletes live in the Lofts, which opened in August 2002 and<br />
is located on campus, just two blocks from the <strong>Georgia</strong> <strong>State</strong> Sports Arena, on Edgewood<br />
Ave between Piedmont Avenue and Courtland Street. The fully-furnished, loft-style<br />
apartments blend urban style with modern-day conveniences. Unit amenities include direct<br />
internet access in each bedroom, basic cable television service, local telephone service,<br />
private bedroom accommodations, key-locked bedroom doors, a refrigerator with ice<br />
maker, stove, dishwasher and garbage disposal.<br />
The Lofts also feature a laundry room, 24-hour computer lab and a meeting/community<br />
room.<br />
The Commons, a new 2000-bed student housing complex which opened in August<br />
<strong>2007</strong>, is located at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Ellis Street, just a short walk<br />
from campus. The four-building. state-of-the-art complex has apartment-style suites that<br />
