Housing at the University of Georgia

Housing at the University of Georgia is managed by the Department of University Housing. On campus housing for undergraduate students is divided into ten communities, and for graduate students into three communities.

Brumby, Russell, and Creswell halls are collectively known as the "freshman high-rises" due to their similarities in design and function. All three are located just off Baxter Street on West Campus. These are the biggest residence halls on campus and houses a total of about 2,850 freshman.

Brumby Community is a formerly all-female residence hall constructed in 1966. It is nine stories tall and houses approximately 935 students. Rooms are double-occupancy with shared bathrooms, and the community is divided into four colonies: Darien, Newport, Sunbury, and Wentworth.

The Brumby Community, which includes Brumby Hall, is one of three high rise residential communities located on Baxter Street and designated solely to first-year students. Beginning fall 2013, Brumby Hall will be coed with each wing designated as male or female.

The Brumby Community is home to several academic and leadership initiatives. Students of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences are able to complete academic advising through the Franklin College in the Residence Halls program with one of two advisers assigned to this residence hall, and short courses and seminars are regularly scheduled for the Brumby conference rooms. Brumby Hall's famous rotunda is the site of many events and activities. This residence hall is also home to a satellite office of the Division of Academic Enhancement, which provides tutoring and other academic support services to residents.

Brumby Hall was renovated in 2020, and updated to include freestanding furniture in rooms, more programmatic spaces, more bathroom privacy and in-room temperature control. Brumby’s iconic rotunda is a popular gathering space for students.

Creswell Community is a nine-story residence hall housing approximately 965 students and is divided into four colonies: Frederica, Gordon, Goshen, and Ogeechee. It has double-occupancy rooms with common bathrooms.

The Creswell Community, which includes Creswell Hall, is one of three high-rise residential communities located on Baxter Street and designated solely to first-year students. Creswell is a coeducational residential community for first-year students.
