First Year Student
Housing Guide
2017

"First-year student" is a term used at Emory to designate a student who is participating in his
First Year Housing Requirement
or her first year of study. A traditional first-year student has a freshman class standing, but
regardless of the number of academic credit hours, students in their first year of study will
remain "first-year" students.
The first-year experience as a resident in University housing is unique and exciting. All first-
year students are required in live in on-campus University housing which creates communities
in our residence halls. Each of Emory’s residence halls offers a different flavor of college life,
one that develops according to the needs and personalities of the residents.
Because all first-year students are required to live in the residence halls during their first year
at Emory, the University guarantees housing for first-year students. Exceptions may be made
if you live in Atlanta with your immediate family.
If you are a first-year student and prefer to live at home, you may appeal to be released from
the live-on housing requirement. Please see the detailed information on the Housing Appeals
webpage.

Emory offers nine different residence halls for first-year students.

What To Bring (And What To Leave At Home)
All first-year students have been assigned a move in time for Saturday's move in.
This information will be posted on your MyHousing page in early August.
Be sure to bring a photo ID with you to check in! At check in, you will receive your
room key, get additional information regarding the room condition form, and learn
about first-year traditions such as Songfest and Freshmen Semiformal. (Don't forget
to purchase a hall T-shirt to start sporting your pride!)
