Can the height of the beds be adjusted?

A BuzzCard is an official Georgia Tech photo identification. It is not only used as I.D., but can be used in vending machines, at local restaurants, for laundry service, and meal plans. Refer to www.buzzcard.gatech.edu for more information.
Can I purchase a meal plan for the campus dining hall? 2021 Update: Meal Plans for the 2021 Summer will be unavailable to Intern Lodging Guests due to maintenance and contracting changes regarding dining operations. When open and available, you may visit the Dining Hall and pay with a credit card. Thank you.

Are there dining or shopping options within walking distance of Georgia Tech?
Yes. When you arrive, you will be provided a Campus and Atlanta map that will guide you to options like Technology Square, Rocky Mountain Pizza, McDonald's, Burger King, etc.
Atlanta is a pretty big city - is it safe? What does Georgia Tech do to keep campus safer?
As in all major cities, we encourage you to keep your doors locked and be alert when walking alone around campus and Atlanta. However, we provide a night-time emergency duty number, as well as the on-campus GT Police department to help increase safety options.
What do I do if there's something wrong with my room-something breaks, leaky toilet, light bulb burns out, etc?
When you arrive, you will be provided directions on how to complete an online maintenance request form. This will allow you to request maintenance assistance and track the requests' progress. If it's an emergency, call Conference Services' main office, or duty phone number provided on the front door of your building and inside your Welcome Packet.
What do I do in an emergency?
In case of an emergency, call Georgia Tech Police (404-894-2500). DO NOT call 911 first. GTPD will dispatch an ambulance if needed.
What if I have further questions?
If you have further questions, please call 404-894-2469 and tell the representative who answers that you have questions regarding the Intern Lodging Program. You can also email internlodging@housing.gatech.edu with questions.
