Housing

  • Active Duty ABOLC Lieutenants are authorized to live off post.
  • National Guard Students must live in Abrams Hall.
  • To receive a list of apartment complexes and housing commonly used by students call the Student Liaison at 706-626-6302.

Students without dependents are strongly encouraged to live in accommodations with no roommates given the current COVID-19 environment. If a student becomes positive with COVID-19, he/she and their respective roommates will be placed in a "medical hold" status and likely be recycled to the next ABOLC Class after completing their quarantine or isolation period. This delay will naturally effect follow-on schooling and reporting to the next unit.
