I-House is a living learning community shared between current undergraduate Georgia Tech students and incoming exchange students with the purpose of embracing diverse culture and building meaningful connections through a caring community and active committee involvement. With residents from around the world housed in Gray and Hayes Halls on East Campus, students join a vibrant community that explore first-hand what it means to live in a globalized world as they navigate intercultural differences and conquer unfamiliar environments, emerging as a more enlightened and empathetic individual.

Focused on a student-guided experience that maximizes the I-House experience, the community is centered around committees that host and plan events that share culture and interests while engaging peers, GT campus, Atlanta, and the global community. Through coffee hours and signature events, residents receive dedicated support from our passionate staff and faculty leadership.

Expectations of those who live in I-House:

  • An undergraduate, second year or above GT Degree-Seeking or Exchange student

  • Serve on 1 I-House Committee

  • Participate in 6 I-House activities

  • Pay a $400/semester activity fee (Fee increase starting Fall 2025)

Beginning in their second year, Georgia Tech students are eligible to live in I-House. As an upperclassman living learning community, students must be at least a rising second year to apply for the Fall semester. Exchange students are also eligible to apply for housing in I-House and have a separate application process. Applicants must be undergraduate students. With limited spots and numerous applicants, the I-House application process is highly competitive so students who apply to live in I-House are not guaranteed a spot.
