University House at Georgia Tech

Wednesday, September 2, 2015

Student housing has gotten a face lift over the years. Gone are the days of bunk beds and build your own lofts to make room for a small futon and a mini fridge. It has evolved and University House near the campus of Georgia Tech is leading the way in its innovation.

The Sky Lounge gives wonderful views of the midtown skyline and space to stretch out in case residents get a little stir crazy in their rooms. That will be hard of course with fully furnished apartments including granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, a flat screen television, couch tables desks, beds and everything else one would need. That’s of course not to mention the gym, the pool with a 16×9 (that’s in feet) jumbotron overlooking it, grills, lounge chairs, pool tables, shuffleboard, a fusball table, ping pong, arcade games, televisions set up for console games and much much more.

I think I may want to go back to school!
