Housing Opportunities

Current OSC graduate students have compiled some suggestions for new classmates looking for places to live.

Rent a house or guesthouse, and find a roommate or two to share expenses. The price per person for a two- or three-bedroom house is usually cheaper than a single room apartment or studio near the University. You will get more square footage, and it will be in a nicer neighborhood.
Rent a place with air conditioning. Properties with A/C are usually in better condition and in better neighborhoods. The swamp-cooler-only properties are invariably in the undergrad zone, look run-down and have potentially bad neighbors.
Use Craigslist to look for housing — and start early!
The Off-Campus Student Housing Guide is updated weekly, and its listings include distance to campus.

University Fremont at 321 N. Fremont Ave. comes recommended for graduate students.
Capistrano Apartments at 2929 E. Sixth Street is about a mile from campus. Rent was reasonable and included utilities.
Sierra Point is northwest of Grant and Tucson. One-bedroom apartments are about $650 per month and include cable and Internet. Most residents are graduate students and the neighborhood is nice.
