First Year Live on Requirement

All first year students and transfer students with less than 30 credit hours are required to live in on-campus housing.  For more information about the First Year Requirement, including how to request an exemption, please go to FYLOR.

Residential Communities at Georgia Southern

A top priority for our students is to ensure they are successful in their transition to college. Research shows us that students who reside in Living Learning Communities and Theme Living Communities are provided more opportunities for interaction with faculty outside of the classroom, receive greater academic support opportunities, cultivate a greater connection to the University, and have a stronger  sense of belonging within a community. All these factors ultimately lead to greater success as a student.  Learn More
