What are the best sources for finding housing off-campus? How much time before classes start should I arrive in Brattleboro to look for a place?
SIT’s housing office maintains listings of available housing off campus. You could contact them at (802) 258-3254 for more information. You could also find housing listings in the local newspaper, the Brattleboro Reformer. Monthly rentals range from $340 (a room in private home) to $1,500 for a three-bedroom house. As many current students rent apartments, rooms, or houses in the local community, a good time to start your search is after spring classes end at the end of May. Some students choose to relocate to the area during the summer months to line up off-campus housing for the fall. The admissions office will also provide incoming students with an online discussion board so that they can conduct roommate searches and/or coordinate travel to the Brattleboro area with other incoming students. Hope this information is useful, and thanks again for your message.
