On-Campus Housing for First-Year Students

Living on campus as a first-year student, you’ll be close to friends, dining, classes and key Atlanta attractions. Proximity to campus facilities makes getting around and connecting to campus easy and convenient.

Resident safety and security are top priorities. Georgia State University Police operate a 24/7 sub-station in the University Commons community. Multiple levels of on-call staff also operate more than 1,000 cameras stationed around our six on-campus housing communities.

There’s a reason our residence halls are filled to capacity each year: Living on campus inspires student involvement, positively affects student success and enhances students' satisfaction with their college experience.

We encourage you to get to know the Piedmont Central community by visiting the numerous study, chat and gathering spaces throughout the hall.

Features

Piedmont Central offers residents two bedroom one bath suites. Each resident has a private room and shared bath. Each suite features a bathroom with a separate sink, toilet and shower.

PantherDining provides an in-hall all-you-care-to-eat dining center adjacent to the residential building.
