How this compares with living on campus
Kennesaw State's cheapest on-campus option is Howell Hall (Marietta) at $3,054/semester for a double ($6,108/year). Remember that campus rates often bundle things an apartment does not — and an apartment lease usually runs 12 months instead of the academic year.

What you'll need
Furnished units still need bedding, kitchen basics and cleaning gear; unfurnished rentals add the big anchors — mattress, bed frame, sofa and a table. Our checklist filters by furnished vs unfurnished so you only pack what your unit is missing.
