Heads up — this school breaks the usual rules
- Elm Hall uses FULL beds for upper-class and high-GPA residents while the rest of campus is Twin XL. Augusta is one of the few schools where bed size depends on your GPA and major — the studio and one-bedroom apartments there need full/double sheets.
- Command Strips are explicitly PROHIBITED, along with poster putty, tape, nails, staples, screws and wall anchors. Nearly every college packing list tells families to buy Command Strips. Augusta approves white sticky tack, monkey hooks, tension rods, over-the-door hooks, magnetic hooks and push pins instead.
- Four of the five housing communities have full kitchens with a full-size fridge and microwave already installed, and The Row bans mini-fridges outright. Buying one is wasted money unless the student is in Oak Hall.
- Air fryers are banned by name, along with grills, hot plates, induction cooktops, toasters and waffle makers. The fridge cap is 3.4 cubic feet and the microwave cap 1,000 watts — both below common retail defaults.
- ⚠ Augusta contradicts itself on a single page. Its approved list calls a surge-protector power strip “required for electronics,” while the prohibited list on the same page bans “multi-plug outlet adapters or power strips.” The likely intent is that surge-protected strips are fine and bare adapters are not, but Augusta does not say so.
- No live-on requirement at all — unusual for a public university this size — and laundry is free campus-wide, with in-unit washers and dryers at Beacon Station and The Row.
Buying the standard college checklist here will waste money — check your building first.
| Hall | Style | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Oak Hall — shared semi-suite Cheapest bed on campus — and the only hall where you genuinely need a micro-fridge. | Suite | $3,633/sem 2BR/1BA |
| Elm Hall — first-year triple Three to a unit, with a full kitchen included, so skip the fridge. | Apartment (first-year config) | $3,688/sem |
| University Village On the Forest Hills campus, gated, with a full kitchen, dishwasher and outdoor pool. | Apartment | $3,690/sem 4BR/2BA |
| Elm Hall — first-year double Twin XL, and bunked in the one-bedroom layout. | Apartment (first-year config) | $4,098/sem |
| Beacon Station / The Row Upper-class only, with an in-unit washer and dryer and a full kitchen. The Row bans mini-fridges outright. | Apartment | $4,098/sem 2BR/2BA |
| Oak Hall — private suite A private bedroom within a suite; the top of the undergraduate range. Elm Hall graduate studios run $5,008–$6,719. | Suite | $4,298/sem 2BR/1BA |
Rates are per semester — double them for a fall and spring figure. A meal plan is separate and mandatory, and it is expensive: first-year residents pay $2,194 or $2,287 a semester on top of rent, so a first-year in the cheapest room is looking at roughly $5,827 to $5,920 a semester rather than $3,633. Augusta’s own rates page publishes no dollar figures — the numbers above come from the University System of Georgia board-approved schedule — and all rates are subject to Board of Regents approval. Rates compiled from the university’s published housing rates, August 2026. Always confirm on the official rates page.
Who has to live on campus
Augusta does not require any student to live on campus. The housing FAQ states plainly that first-year students are not required to live in on-campus housing during their first year. Because there is no requirement, there is no exemption process — housing is fully opt-in and first-come, first-served, and Augusta stresses applying early to secure a room. A meal plan is required once you do live on campus.
What the room already includes
Every room includes a bed and mattress, desk and chair, a three-drawer dresser, a nightstand and a closet. Laundry is free for residents across Elm Hall, Oak Hall and University Village, with fee-free laundry rooms on each floor. Electricity, heating and cooling are provided, and high-speed internet is included through Apogee. University Village has a frost-free refrigerator with ice-maker, microwave, stove, oven and dishwasher; Beacon Station and The Row add a refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave plus an in-unit washer and dryer; and Elm Hall has a full kitchen in all apartments with individual heating and cooling units. Residents of those units supply their own cookware, dishes and utensils.
Fridge & microwave rules
Bring your own — but only in the hall that needs one. Augusta permits a compact refrigerator at a maximum 3.4 cubic feet total capacity, Energy Star rated and plugged directly into the wall, one per bedroom, and a microwave at a maximum of 1,000 watts, one per room. Both caps sit below common retail defaults. Unnecessary in University Village, Beacon Station, The Row and Elm Hall, which all have full kitchens — and The Row bans mini-fridges outright unless approved as a disability accommodation. Only Oak Hall genuinely calls for one.
What you cannot bring
Cooking appliances including air fryers, electric, charcoal and gas grills, hot plates, induction cooktops, toasters and waffle makers. Window and portable air conditioners, space heaters, electric blankets and bed warmers. Multi-plug outlet adapters, power strips and extension cords without an internal circuit breaker; wireless routers; deep freezers; water coolers. Candles, incense and open flame items including candle and wax warmers; halogen lamps; plug-in air fresheners. On walls, Command Strips, large nails, staples, screws, wall anchors, poster putty and tape are all prohibited — the approved alternatives are High and Mighty hooks, white sticky tack, tension rods, over-the-door hooks, magnetic hooks, clamp hooks, monkey hooks and push pins. Blinds may not be removed, though curtains are allowed on tension rods. Waterbeds and non-fire-retardant upholstered furniture are banned, as are weapons, dartboards, electronic skateboards and wading pools. Pets are prohibited.
