Campus Housing and Residential Life
 

Campus residential life is an important part of the college experience. On-campus living is much more than simply a convenience to students. Students living in a community of fellow students are positively influenced with regard to retention, personal growth and development, participation in extra-curricular activities, and overall successful adaptation to the college experience.

In order to facilitate students’ success and to help them make a successful transition to college, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has a freshman residency requirement. As such, all students who meet the following conditions are required to live on campus:

• are less than 21 years of age at the start of fall semester

• live more than 50 miles from campus

• are freshman (have earned fewer than 30 semester hours of college credit)

• are not married or have children

ABAC offers state-of-the-art on-campus housing opportunities for students. ABAC Place, our on-campus housing facility, has 835 beds in apartment-style units. The majority of the apartment units are 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, but a limited number of 3-bedroom, 2-bath, and 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom units are also available.

Each private bedroom is fully furnished and the common living room is furnished with sofa, oversized chair and tables. Kitchens are equipped with dishwashers, microwaves, garbage disposals, full-size ranges and refrigerators. A common phone line, cable television, and high speed internet access are also available in each apartment unit. Laundry facilities, group study space, and computer labs are available on each floor of the apartment complex.

ABAC Place also includes the Town Hall. This facility contains the rental administrative offices, recreational facilities, a fitness center, group meeting space, and a convenience store.

ABAC Place is managed through a partnership between ABAC and Place Properties, a private housing management firm. Working together, ABAC and Place Properties will insure that ABAC Place provides a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable on-campus living environment that is conducive to the academic success of our students.

In accordance with state law, each student living in on-campus housing is required to be vaccinated against meningitis or to document that he/she is aware of the vaccine but elects not to be vaccinated. The meningitis vaccine may be obtained from your local health department or physician, or through the ABAC Health Center.
