“The demand for housing on the Macon campus has long exceeded available space,” Smith said, adding that there is a waiting list for open beds each year of about 80 to 100 students.
The new dorm will have double-room suites with two beds in both bedrooms with a shared bathroom.
As of now, students living in University Pointe Apartments are doubling up in single and double rooms and paying a discounted rate because of it.
Freshman enrollment increased by 25 percent, Smith said, and the total student population has increased by 6 percent in fall 2018 compared to fall 2017.
Information Technology, aviation, cyber security, business and health sciences or nursing are the most popular programs at the school, which had a student population of a little less than 8,000 at the start of the 2019 spring semester.
Great news for MGSU and Macon.... With all of the growth at the Campus and more students coming I'm sure it will spur more growth in this area of town.
