About Off-Campus Housing Near Emory University
Emory University sits in the historic Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, with about 14,000 students on a leafy campus of quads and red-brick buildings. Druid Hills is gorgeous and green, full of stately old homes and mature trees, and Emory's own Lullwater Preserve gives students miles of trails, a lake, and a forest in their backyard. Just beyond campus, walkable Emory Village clusters shops at the gates, while nearby Decatur feels like a small town inside the city, anchored by its lively square. Atlanta's bigger draws, from museums to pro sports, are a short trip away, and the free Emory shuttle plus MARTA's Decatur station connect students to the rest of the metro. With Stone Mountain Park not far east, the outdoors stays close even in a city this size.
Emory University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Emory has a two-year live-on requirement: first-year and second-year students must live in university-owned or leased housing unless they are granted an exemption. The main exemptions cover students whose permanent home is within 30 miles of the Atlanta campus, those with a documented medical need housing cannot meet, and students who are married or living with a dependent. Importantly, you have to request an exemption before signing a housing agreement, so handle it early to avoid a cancellation penalty.
Off-Campus Eligibility
After sophomore year, most students move off campus into Druid Hills, Emory Village, Decatur, or Toco Hills. The Atlanta rental process is standard: landlords run credit and income checks, and younger students usually need a guarantor or co-signer. Not every neighborhood is walkable to campus, so the free Emory shuttle network shapes where students choose to live.
