    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What items should I bring with me?

      You should bring whatever items will make you feel most at home in your residence hall room. There are a few items not allowed such as toasters and candles. Please refer to the particular residence hall's web page.

    • What happens if my roommate and I don’t get along?

      We ask that you make every effort to work things out with your roommate but if you cannot, there are a couple of times during the year which you can change rooms. Your RA is also available as a neutral source for help.

    • How can I obtain safety rails?

      Safety rails are available at no cost from the Office of Residence Life. Safety rails are issued when beds are bunked and are available from each residence hall desk for non-bunked beds upon student request. 

    • Can I paint/wallpaper my room?

      Due to the number of different people that utilize the residence hall throughout the years, we do not allow you to make permanent decorative changes.

    • Can I bring my own furniture?

      You are allowed to bring any additional furniture that you deem necessary (book shelves, extra single mattress) except for lofts or other devices that raise furniture. You are not allowed to remove any furniture from your room.

    • Do I have to buy a meal plan?

      All residents in traditional residence halls and suite-style residence halls are required to purchase a 10, 15, or Unlimited Meal Plan. Residents in Owen Hall are not required to purchase a meal plan.

    • Can freshman have a car on campus?

      All students are allowed to have a car on campus. Parking is permitted in any lot marked “Residential.”

    • Can I live in an apartment off campus?

      You must meet the requirements of the University of North Georgia Residence policy in order to commute.

    • Can I stay on campus during holidays and breaks?

      The Traditional Residence Halls close between semesters and for Fall and Spring breaks. NG Suites is open continuously from mid-August to May. Owen Hall is open continuously from mid-August through July. You should plan in advance and make other housing arrangement during these times.
