Georgia Tech Turns Student Housing Into World Cup Lodging: A Unique Stay for Soccer Fans

Live Like a Local, Even If It’s Just for the Games

Atlanta, GA — Forget generic hotels. This summer, World Cup visitors can trade sterile rooms for dorm-style living—right in the heart of the action.

Georgia Tech’s Soccer Stays GT Summer Lodging program is opening its doors to the public from June 1 to July 31, offering soccer fans a chance to stay in shared apartments just 1.8 miles from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Instead of booking a pricey hotel, visitors can rent a single room in a student-style setup, complete with a twin XL bed, desk, dresser, and access to shared kitchens and bathrooms.

What’s Included?

✔ Twin XL bed, desk, and dresser ✔ Shared kitchen & bathroom ✔ Free laundry (soap not provided) ✔ Breakfast included (starting at $237/night) ✔ Discounts for stays over 14 nights ✔ Lower rates for university affiliates

The Catch?

No room service. No luxury frills. But for budget-conscious travelers who want to immerse themselves in the city—and maybe even catch a glimpse of Lamine Yamal’s Spain in action—this is a practical, no-frills alternative.

Atlanta will host eight World Cup matches, including a semifinal, giving fans plenty to cheer about. And while the dorms won’t pamper you, they’ll give you a local’s-eye view of the city—something chain hotels simply can’t replicate.

Parking, dining credits, and extended stays? Available for an extra fee. But the real draw? The chance to live like a student—even if just for a few weeks.
