Off Campus Accommodation

The University attempts to provide accommodation for most first year students who wish it. If we cannot offer university housing, we offer to help you, through Student Services, to find private, off-campus housing. Neither Student Services nor the University, however, has any control over the standard of housing offered or the rents charged.
