Georgia Southwestern takes pride in providing a great atmosphere while living on campus. GSW was recently rated in the top tier for Best Residence Halls in the state of Georgia for 2023. None of our halls have communal restrooms and offer the privacy you need for a wholesome experience during your studies.
Our mission as the Department of Residential and Campus Life is to provide an environment that enforces a supportive community who is consistently engaging students, faculty, and staff in a robust campus life through purposeful interactions.
The Vision of Residential Life is to:
Being a RL provides opportunities to develop valuable leadership and communication skills by shaping an environment that supports students' academic and personal development, making connections that will last a lifetime, and most importantly defining yourself.
The RL position is a critical role to the Department of Residence Life. We want to ensure RLs have the skills, interests, and experiences that will prepare them to thrive in this challenging and enjoyable position.
RLs are part of the Canes Leading Canes (CLC) application process that happens in the fall semester. If you’re interested in applying, talk to your RL about it!
The 2022-23 Housing Application is now open! If you plan on living on campus next year, you'll need to complete the housing application.
To begin the Housing Application, complete the following steps:
After your tuition has been paid, your parking permit will be available through the Office of Public Safety.
If a vacancy exists and your reason is legitimate, a room change may be granted. Start the process by talking to your RL.
Packing is always stressful. We have compiled a list of recommended items to make you feel more at home in your residence hall.
Living on campus has allowed me to be close to my family and childhood friends, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming in a way that has allowed me to expand my family forever.
