    Off Campus Housing Search Guidelines

    Once you have logged in, begin by choosing the type of property that you wish to explore and follow the criteria to determine what you require.

    All search terms are optional

    If you do not select any, all available properties will be displayed. If you select too many, the search may not display any properties. If you select 2 bedrooms, only 2 bedroom properties will be displayed. Try different combinations until you find all of the properties that interest you.

    An explanation of search criteria:

    Term:

    • Long term refers to academic year or longer
    • Short term refers to 180 days or less
