GCSU is committed to ensuring that NEH participants enjoy their experience on our campus. Participants will be housed in Sanford Residence Hall, which has suites consisting of two bedrooms and one bathroom, private suite temperature controls, phone, cable, and internet jacks, and in-house laundry facilities. The cost of housing in Sanford Residence Hall is $770. Our Office of Technology Solutions will connect participants' computers into our wireless system. Food service will be available through campus facilities located between Sanford Residence Hall and the buildings in which Institute lectures and seminars will be held. Also, since GCSU is located at the edge of downtown Milledgeville, participants may sometimes wish to eat at one of the many restaurants just a block from campus. Participants will receive copy cards, some office supplies, and instructional materials. On-campus recreational facilities are also available in the Wellness Depot, a renovated exercise facility outfitted with a variety of cardio and weight equipment, and the Centennial Center. Since Milledgeville is in the middle of the state, participants can drive in 30 minutes to Macon, in 90 minutes to Athens, in two hours to Atlanta, and in three hours to Savannah.
With ID cards that participants will be given during the opening days of orientation, they will be able to enter campus buildings, gain access to the computer lab in the lower level of the Library, make photocopies, pay for meals in the campus dining hall, pay for their laundry needs, and use the athletic facilities of the Wellness Depot and the Centennial Center.
