How is off-campus housing different from on-campus housing?
Off-campus housing differs from on-campus housing in a few ways. One way is that it is not physically located within the campus; as such, some of the amenities offered by Resident Life may not be available. Most commonly, students will have to pay for utilities such as gas, electric, water, cable, telephone and/or internet. Sometimes, these costs are included in the rental price. Also, off-campus housing is separately managed, so students will be dealing directly with landlords to handle leasing, maintenance and other such concerns.
