Theme Housing | Emory University

Theme Housing

Are you looking for a close-knit, inclusive community where everyone knows each other? A fun group of people who enjoy similar activities and events? A place where faculty, staff and students come together around common interests?

Have you considered living in theme housing?

The Offices of Residence Life & Housing provides students with a unique on-campus living opportunity through Theme Housing.

Theme Housing consists of intentionally designed living experiences centered around a variety of academic, cultural, organizational, and personal interests. Theme Housing at Emory is another way students can be involved in living and learning in a residential environment.

In order to participate in theme housing, you must apply to one of our current themes listed below.

At this time, if you are interested in Theme Housing, please email Housing@Emory.edu for additional information and availability.
