It’s an apartment community designed especially with Georgia Southern University students in mind, offering spacious apartments in a range of unit styles, great amenities and dedication to quality — all in a fantastic location and at competitive rates.
Although nearly all residents at Cambridge @ Southern are GSU students and it is just across the street from campus, Cambridge is privately owned and is professionally managed. Click here for more information about the ownership and management.
Cambridge @ Southern contains two adjacent sections: The Palms features an active, social setting centered on a popular palm tree-ringed pool. The Pines offers a quieter environment of tall trees and ponds, with another pool featuring a large sundeck. Residents of both areas can enjoy all of the features of the community.
You can select your roommate(s), or you can apply on your own and we can match you with other students. Applicants answer a short list of lifestyle questions to help in the matching process.
Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at Cambridge has their own individual contract, with one person per bedroom. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your apartment are empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.
Each Cambridge @ Southern resident pays a flat rate that includes:
Yes. All apartments feature a private bathroom for each bedroom, except the 4-bedroom 2-bath apartments, in which two bedrooms share an adjoining, compartmentalized bathroom.
Yes. Each apartment includes a complete set of furniture, including full size beds, desks and chairs, leather-style sofa(s) and side chair(s), coffee table, entertainment console and dinette set or counter stools.

Your living costs at Cambridge can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing. Any available financial aid funds, after university charges are satisfied, are released to the student for non-institutional expenses, such as off-campus housing. These funds can be used to pay charges at Cambridge. Normal payment deadlines will continue to apply.

Therefore, applications are accepted only from students at one of these local colleges or universities. Nonetheless, Cambridge @ Southern is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes student residents with children, with adjusted occupancy limits.
