Parents

A helpful page of resources for parents and families of student’s currently living on- or off-campus. This includes information on average rent, safety, transportation, landlord complaints, roommate issues, and housing for sale near campus.

Average Rent Information

Average rents are calculated every other Friday, throughout the course of the year. Separate calculations for studio/efficiency, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units are available. We recommend students not seek housing for the following school year until after spring break, when prices begin to drop significantly.
