The University of Georgia is home to a whopping 20,000+ students, and depending on which dorm you’re in, it can be a great experience or one you want to get out of as soon as possible.
A majority of freshmen end up living in Russell Hall at some point during their time at UGA, because it makes getting to class much easier. But for those who want more freedom, there are other options. Here are the top 5 dorms at UGA:
1. Russell Hall
Russell Hall residents love having access to the Russell Academic Center (RAC) on the first floor, which features high-tech classrooms and quiet study space, and to the Market at Russell, a convenience store open 7 a.m.-2 a.m. daily. Renovated in 2017-2018, Russell Hall has enhanced and updated lobby, lounge, study, programming, laundry and kitchen spaces. All residence halls have secure two-factor building access, WiFi and Ethernet internet access, laundry rooms, study lounges, community kitchens and access to a 24-hour desk.
