Student Quarters Honored as AJC Top Workplace

Student Quarters is thrilled to announce that we have been recognized as a Top Workplace by The Atlanta Journal‑Constitution, a distinction based entirely on anonymous employee feedback collected through AJC’s partnership with Energage.

This recognition places us among the top 175 employers in metro Atlanta, and comes after thousands of local workers rated their current workplaces on culture, leadership, values, and more.

What Makes This Award Special

  • Peer‑driven recognition: This honor is unique because it springs entirely from employee voices—real feedback, real impact.

  • Robust participation: Hundreds of companies and tens of thousands of employees in the region participated—signaling high saturation and credibility.

  • Culture-centric criteria: AJC places special emphasis on leadership, communication, innovation, and building a sense of belonging—all areas where Student Quarters excels.

Why It Matters

Being named a Top Workplace reinforces our dedication to:

  • Inclusivity and support – reflecting AJC’s findings that top companies foster environments where “everyone feels valued, respected and heard”.

  • Collaborative teamwork – our staff consistently cite a sense of camaraderie and shared success, another hallmark of award-winning workplaces.
