Why Savannah?

Savannah stands as one of the largest historic urban districts in the United States, boasting extraordinary architectural and natural beauty. Its warm, lively, and youthful atmosphere, coupled with easy access to major cities and sublime weather throughout the academic year, creates an inspiring backdrop for fostering intellectual discovery and friendship at Ralston College. Situated in the heart of Savannah's historic district, the Ralston College campus comprises multiple historic buildings, all within a short walking distance.

These buildings serve various functions, spanning academic and administrative activity, as well as student life and housing. Mostly constructed in the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries, the premises cover more than 40,000 square feet. Our campus is placed deliberately within these historic properties to integrate the Ralston community within the city, connect it with the beauty so central to our mission, and create an aesthetically varied yet unified experience.

Buildings

26 East Gaston

Athenaeum

The Athenaeum - fondly known to many in Savannah as the Mills B. Lane House - has been a beloved Georgian Revival residence since its construction in 1909. Overlooking Forsyth Park, it now serves as the central hub of our graduate program, housing a lecture hall, classrooms, seminar rooms, study spaces, faculty offices, and a gymnasium.

17 West McDonough

Cicero

House

Originally built in 1844 for Savannah silversmith Moses Eastman, Cicero House now serves as the operational hub of Ralston College. This exceptional Greek Revival structure seamlessly integrates into Savannah's urban plan, boasting a Doric front portico facing McDonough Street and a monumental Ionic portico on its eastern facade, along with an iron fence, dating to 1857, adorned with medallions depicting statesmen, poets, and literary figures.

134 Whitaker Street

Whitaker

Street

Collection

Our graduate residential building, the Whitaker Street Collection (known as ‘The Whit’), features 12 apartments and spans 18,960 square feet. Originally constructed in 1955, it has undergone significant renovations, first in 2005 and again this past year to meet the needs of our expanding student community. The building includes a large common room and library on the ground floor, designed to foster fellowship and engagement among residents, along with a rooftop patio, providing a beautiful outdoor space with views of the city’s historic district, further enhancing the living experience for our graduate students.
