-Avoid on-campus housing, even in your first year. You have no control over who your roommates will be until after you have paid your contract (and then only, housing does not refund to my knowledge - you can only change to somewhere else on campus). Sure, you can specify your desired roommates in your application and most of the time, you should get them (if they specify also, that they want to room with you), but it is not always easy to guarantee you will have great chemistry with your roommates (just because they are friends, doesn't mean you will successfully share the same space). Since you pay the whole 3-4 month housing fee up front, do you want to take a chance of wasting your money? I sure wish I can gone off-campus to a single room apartment, living alone, throughout my years at Georgia Tech (until I found my awesome life partner, of course). I sure got burned by my roommates. At one point, my ultra-conservative roommates decided to complain about me because my boyfriend slept over too much (IN MY OWN ROOM in an apartment with shared bathrooms). Oh, the walls are too thin for sex in the apartments. Sure, I can see their point..NOW, that I finally do live in a decent apartment off-campus with my life partner (where the walls are NOT thin, thankfully). At another point, when I actually shared a room rather than an apartment, I had no privacy at all, with my roommate' friends constantly coming in and going and having a party at any time. So, it seems I have experienced both irritating others and being irritated myself. I sure wish all my energy had not been soaked up by roommates. SO DO STAY OFF-CAMPUS OR BE VERY SURE YOU ARE STAYING WITH ROOMMATES AT EACH POINT WHO YOU CAN ENJOY A PLEASANT ENVIRONMENT WITH. I guess my advice is hardly Georgia Tech-centric, but I was badly burned. (Oh and you don't want to deal with housing officials who often have a policeman-like attitude towards students. One guy decided he would threaten me and show his power, even though I was sobbing helplessly in his office AND NOT PICKING A FIGHT WITH HIM).
