Housing
Emory University offers affordable housing options for Candler School of Theology students in one, two, and three bedroom apartments on campus or within close proximity to campus.

ON CAMPUS HOUSING
Emory University seeks to provide access to a great range of housing options for its graduate and professional school students. Emory's vision for housing includes expanding and enhancing graduate and professional school housing in venues on the edges of campus targeted to students' needs and desires. All applications for the following housing options are made through Emory University's Office of Residence Life. If you have any special housing needs, please click here for more information.
For the 2008-2009 academic year, Candler School of Theology students have the following on campus options:
President Park Apartments
The President Park Apartments, located just off campus on Clairmont Road and situated on one of Emory's free Cliff shuttle system routes, offer one, two, and three-bedroom unfurnished apartments for Candler students and their immediate families (spouse and/or children), other Emory graduate students, faculty and staff. The apartments have central heat and air-conditioning, and are equipped with a full kitchen and full bathrooms. To apply and get more information click here .

Graduate Residential Center at Clairmont Campus
Currently, Emory operates graduate/professional student housing on its Clairmont Campus (accessible by free shuttle to campus) and will continue to provide graduate/professional housing at least through the 2008-2009 academic year. However, the number of beds on the Clairmont campus that are reserved for graduate/professional students will be limited. Thus, the following graduate/professional students will be given preference in the application process: international students who currently live at Clairmont; new international students who would like to live at Clairmont; other graduate/professional residents who currently live at Clairmont; and, those students who have special needs as documented through the Office of Disability Services. Applications from all other graduate/professional students will be accepted and handled according to this system. To apply and get more information click here.
Please note that beginning in August of 2009, Campus Apartments, Inc. will open graduate and professional school housing in a new facility located on Briarcliff Road at Sage Hill (accessible by free shuttle to campus).
