New South

New South offers a welcoming atmosphere for first year students. The building layout features long hallways, community restrooms, and a common room on each floor. This residence hall is known for having a social atmosphere. Fully renovated in 2004, New South was originally given its name due to it being the “southernmost” building on the main campus.

Community Directors are professional live-in staff members employed by the University. These professionals work directly with students, Residential Ministers, Faculty-in-Residence and campus partners to create a formative living learning environment for our students. Community Directors oversee the Resident Assistant staff within their residential community and develop and implement community educational plans.

Resident Assistants

Resident Assistants (RAs) are student leaders who live in our campus communities and help create a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all residents. From hosting programs to offering guidance and responding in times of need, RAs play a vital role in shaping the Georgetown residential experience.

Security

Access doors to residential buildings are secured, and students must use their GOCard for building access. Each room has its own door with a lock that residents are encouraged to secure at all times.
