Finally, there are also three types of housing options for GT to pick from:
- Traditional – two, three or four person rooms with a community restroom
- Suite style – two two-person rooms with a full bathroom in each
- Apartments – semi and private bedrooms with a full kitchen and living section.
Moving to Atlanta
Making the move to the ATL is thrilling, but to avoid speed bumps along the road you should plan it out. The nearest U-Haul to campus is just a few minutes away from the dorms. There are also over 30 U-Haul locations in the Atlanta area, so route which ones will be the most convenient to visit for all of your moving needs. And don’t forget that if 
you want to avoid traffic of cars and of students on moving day, you can always ship all of your belongings straight to your dorm room with Collegeboxes. Collegeboxes will service all GIT students by letting them pack at home, they’ll pick up the boxes and deliver them to a student’s dorm room by move-in day.
