About Off-Campus Housing Near Albany State University
Albany State University brings about 6,500 Golden Rams to Albany, a southwest Georgia city that sits on the Flint River. ASU is one of Georgia's historic HBCUs, and student life runs on that community pride: Homecoming, step shows, and the band turn fall game days into citywide events. The main campus sits near the river on the east side of town, so green space and water are never far. Riverfront parks and trails give students room to walk, run, or clear their heads between classes. Downtown Albany is a short hop away, with its civic center, museums, and a slow southern downtown that's been working on its comeback. The city is flat and spread out, so many students get around by car, though the local bus line connects campus to downtown for those without one.
Albany State University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Albany State requires first-year students to live on campus if their permanent address is more than 50 miles away and they are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours, and that comes with a meal plan. Students who live within 50 miles can commute. The requirement does not guarantee a bed, so if ASU runs short on space, leftover first-year students are released from the rule automatically.
Off-Campus Eligibility
You can request an exemption by submitting a written explanation plus the First Year Release Request to Commute form, with firm deadlines, usually mid-June for fall and mid-November for spring. Once you are off campus, Albany's rental process is straightforward and expects an application, a deposit, and proof you can cover the lease. Many complexes near ASU sit on or near the city bus line, which is worth confirming if you will not have a car.
