Off-Campus Housing

After your sophomore year, you can remain on campus and live in our on-campus apartments (subject to available space) or move off campus to any of the nearby neighborhoods. You might find an apartment above the storefronts of Little Italy, built a hundred years ago by Italian artisans whose grandchildren still run authentic bakeries. Or you might commute by bike from Coventry Village, where funky shops and restaurants draw a diverse crowd from hippies to hipsters. 

There are a few ways that the Office of Student Life + Housing can help you find new living arrangements.

Apartment Hunting Seminar

In early March, the Office of Student Life + Housing conducts a seminar for sophomore students to help you understand leases, landlords, expenses, and what to look for in selecting your living situation for your junior and senior years. Take a look at the Apartment Hunting Basics and Apartment Hunting Checklist forms from that session.

Apartment Listings

The Office of Student Life + Housing has a number of websites available to search local apartment listings below. You can also stop by the Student Life + Housing office—outside our door is a bulletin board where potential roommates and landlords post vacancies.

Additional resources to find roommates and local apartments:

InMyArea.com offers students a simple and quick resource to find and compare available TV and Internet options for their residence. InMyArea.com offers the lowest prices available online with quick and easy setup of services.
