off-campus housing

Off-campus housing refers to accommodation located outside a college or university's on-site facilities. Students choose off-campus options such as apartments, rental houses, or shared living arrangements nearby. It offers more independence and often more space than on-campus housing. Students are responsible for their lease, utilities, and daily living expenses. Off-campus housing can provide a more flexible lifestyle and a chance to experience local neighborhoods, but it also requires managing time, budget, and transportation considerations independently. It’s a common choice for students seeking greater autonomy or cost-effective living options outside the university setting.
