Housing Options

How do I find where to live?

Luckily, we have a list of some apartments where grad students from our department live for you to consider. Some graduate students also rent a house together if they know each other very well.

Most grad students move at the start of their second year, so if you aren’t a huge fan of where you live during your first year, that’s normal! You’ll see many different complexes during your first year as you hang out with other students and get an idea of where you want to live next.
