Hi everyone! I've been considering applying to Kennesaw State University but I'm not sure about their housing policies. Do they require freshmen to live on campus, or is it optional? I'm trying to decide if dorm life is the best option for me. Thanks!
Kennesaw State University does not require freshmen to live on campus, as their housing policy is optional for all students. However, many freshmen choose to live on campus for the convenience and the opportunity to engage with the campus community more closely. Kennesaw State University offers several on-campus housing options, including traditional residence halls and apartment-style living.
One exception is if you are in a major that is based on the Marietta campus—then there is a live-in requirement for freshmen on the Marietta campus.
Living on campus can provide a great opportunity to make new friends, participate in events, and have easier access to campus resources. On the other hand, living off-campus may offer more independence, privacy, and potentially lower costs depending on the location and type of accommodation you choose. Ultimately, the decision depends on your personal preferences, budget, and priorities.
I would recommend visiting Kennesaw State University if possible and taking a tour of the campus housing options to help determine if dorm life is the best choice for you. It's also helpful to speak with current students about their experiences living on and off-campus to get a better sense of what might work best for you. Good luck with your decision!
