FAQs

Can I move into my room early/late?

The residence halls open at designated times for each semester. Residents are not allowed to move in early. Each student is expected to move in at their assigned time.

What items should I bring with me?

You should bring items that will make you feel most comfortable in your room. However, remember that you will be sharing this space with another person. Also, there are items not allowed in the UNG Residence Halls. You may access What Should I Bring? for a list of recommended items to bring, a list of items provided in the residence hall and room, and a list of items prohibited in the UNG residence halls.

You will also find the listings on the "Move-In" tab of an individual residence hall page.

What happens if I do not like my roommate?

Most residents self-select their roommates through the UNG Housing Portal. For students who do not self-select, the Residence Life Staff puts a lot of effort into assigning compatible roommates, and we ask you to make every effort to work out minor issues.

However, in either case, there are several opportunities during the year for a student to find a new roommate and change rooms.
