Housing

Hotels in the Area

You can choose to live either on campus or off campus. Many graduate students find off-campus housing which is larger and less expensive than on-campus housing. Off-campus housing is not necessarily farther away from campus than on-campus housing. On the other hand, an advantage of on-campus housing is that you don't have to go apartmenthunting.

To obtain on-campus housing, contact the Office of Residence Life.

There are several places you can look for off-campus housing:

Off Campus Housing Database
If you are looking for a roommate, try our rudimentary roommate matching page. (We are working on a better setup, with a roommate database. Maybe it will be ready next year.)
Many of the student cultural groups can help new students from their respective cultures to find housing.

If you are in the area:

Pick up a copy of the Poly (the student newspaper) and check their Classifieds sections.
Walk around campus and check the bulletin boards for signs about apartments for rent.
Walk or drive around the neighborhoods near campus and look for "For Rent" signs."
