Kennesaw Campus housing styles

Marietta Campus housing styles

Current options include traditional, suite and apartment configurations. Students should use Marietta-specific room information and mailing instructions.

⚠️

Check availability, not an old list

KSU may open, renovate or temporarily close communities. DormHQ never publishes a fixed hall total.

KSU packing notes

KSU's packing guidance recommends coordinating shared items and checking the specific community amenities. Bathroom and kitchen supplies differ significantly between suite and apartment assignments. Use removable hanging products and follow current appliance rules.

Before buying anything size-specific

  • Confirm the assigned building and exact room type.
  • Verify mattress dimensions, bed configuration and maximum topper depth.
  • Check whether bathrooms are private, shared-suite or community style.
  • Confirm which appliances and furniture the university provides.
  • Review current restrictions for power strips, cooking appliances, wall attachments and bed risers.

Room types can differ within the same university, and sometimes within the same building

Use the assigned-room information, not a general dorm checklist, before ordering fitted bedding or large furniture.

Plan move-in

  • Complete the university's required arrival appointment or check-in steps.
  • Obtain the student ID card used for building access.
  • Coordinate shared purchases with roommates.
  • Label moving containers with the student's name, building and room.
  • Bring a folding cart or dolly if the university recommends one.
  • Recheck parking and unloading instructions immediately before arrival.
