A practical DormHQ guide to UGA residence communities, room planning and move-in. UGA offers traditional rooms, suites and apartments. Bed sizes and appliances vary, so use the assigned building page before ordering.
At a glance
Find the assigned hall
UGA groups residence halls into communities. Use the current housing directory rather than relying on an old list or a published total.

UGA bed sizes are not universal
Many rooms use Twin XL mattresses, while some apartments use full-size beds and some configurations differ. Confirm the assigned hall and room.
What is generally included
UGA's current hall information says residence rooms, suites and apartments are furnished and include air conditioning and internet access. Community amenities may include kitchens, laundry rooms, meeting rooms, computer labs and lounges.
Fall 2026 move-in snapshot
UGA currently lists fall move-in for August 14–17, 2026, with arrival times required on August 14–15. Students should use the live move-in page because building instructions and parking routes can change.
UGA recommends bringing a cart or dolly because university carts are limited. Only the student can receive the room key at check-in.
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.
