Casa Émory

Casa Émory is a theme residence for students who wish to broaden their knowledge of Spanish and/or Portuguese outside of the classroom setting. It's the perfect place to live on campus while keeping up everyday use of the languages as well as contact with the cultures of the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world.

Casa Émory offers a comfortable and family-like environment, where the focus on "living in" Spanish and Portuguese.

Residents collaborate with Emory's Department of Spanish and Portuguese to host a variety of cultural events throughout the year, many of them open to other students and community members.

Spanish and Portuguese majors and minors, native and heritage speakers, students who are planning to study abroad or have returned from abroad, and others with a strong interest in the Ibero-American world are encouraged to apply.

Most Casa Émory residents apply in February to live in the case for the following academic year.

When you fill out your Housing application and agreement at myhousing.emory.edu, answer "Yes" for interest in Theme Housing/Theme Communities and then select Casa Émory. A link to the specific Casa Émory application will appear in your MyHousing Portal.

The priority deadline for fall 2023 is February 13th. If you miss the deadline, go ahead and submit an application anyway, since spaces do often open up, for example when current residents go to study abroad during the spring semester.
