Students interested in on-campus housing should complete the housing application via MyHousing.
Please note that you will not be able to access the housing application until your Admission deposit has been paid. Within 48 hours of your deposit, you will be granted full access to all university systems and will be able to log on and apply for housing.
Housing for transfer students is optional and subject to availability. Housing is assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Please read below for options that may be available.
Please follow these steps for completing the application.
Once you select a housing assignment via housing selection, being "pulled in" to an apartment by a matched roommate, or the housing office assigning you to an available space as a result of a completed housing application on file, you are bound to the terms of the housing agreement and there are financial penalties for requesting to be released from your housing agreement.
Eagle Row communities are individual houses and homes to sororities, fraternities, and theme communities on campus. These houses are within walking distance of most academic buildings and are located next to the Woodruff P.E. Center. Each facility houses 20 to 40 students in a double-occupancy room configuration.
All Eagle Row facilities offer community bathroom, or suite-style bathroom, and laundry facilities inside each house.

Assignment & Selection Process
Students are considered on the on-campus housing waitlist if they complete their application but do not have an on-campus housing assignment.
The 2025-2026 Residential Housing Agreement is binding when students select their on-campus housing.
-
Beginning on June 5, Housing Operations will publish all available and selectable via a weekly* open selection process on MyHousing from Thursday at noon EDT to Friday at noon EDT.
-
Session 1 begins June 5
- Session II begins June 12
-
-
To participate in the weekly selection session, students must complete their on-campus housing application by the previous Sunday before 11:59 PM.
-
Space availability may vary weekly.
-
Students are removed from the on-campus housing waitlist and future selection sessions once they select a space.
-
If you have a roommate/suitemate(s) in mind who is also on the waitlist, you MUST request and match with them before selecting housing. Housing Operations cannot honor any roommate/suitemate request after the student has chosen their housing.
-
A manual assignment offer process will be in place for students wishing to join students with an existing assignment, subject to availability.
Roommate requests and roommate matching are done through the application on your MyHousing page. Roommate searching and matching will become available once you have completed your application. To access, select "Room and Roommate," "Select Roommate," and then select the corresponding term to your roommate request (Fall 2025).
You should first set up your roommate matching profile. In "Profile and Billing" and "Roommate Profile," you may enter your personal email or social media you would like displayed. If your "Profile Privacy" is set to Do Not Display Me, you will not be accessible to other residents in the roommate search.
If your "Profile Privacy" is set to Display Only My Information (Not My Profile), you will be accessible to other students in the roommate search but your profile will be hidden.
If you have someone in mind you would like to request, our office suggests that you search by their last name or their Emory email address directly. Some students use their preferred names in their profile, so you may want to confirm with them before searching.
Note: Your preferred roommate must complete their housing application in order to be matched.
Note: MyHousing may return no results if you search by name AND living preferences. The system will look for the student with the exact name and specific living preference.
Once you send a roommate request, you can see outstanding requests highlighted in yellow in the Roommate Request Section.
There are four actions you can take:
Once you receive a roommate request via MyHousing, you can take the following actions:
