Housing reviews

Five ways to live in C-U

University-owned residence halls and apartments. Room types, dining, costs and what living there is really like.

Privately owned halls certified by the university. Meals, services, contracts and community.

Off-campus apartments and houses. Real monthly costs, management, maintenance and deposits.

Take over someone's lease or room. Dates, rent, fees and who you'd be living with.

Co-ops, host families, summer stays and anything that doesn't fit a box, explained by the people who lived it.

Group applications

Budget, dates, sleep schedule, cleanliness, guests, pets and more. Mark each one Required, Preferred or Flexible.

Preview it, choose what's public, then post it. Already have friends on board? Post as a group to fill the open spots.

Filter other applications or let your answers do it. We explain every match in plain words.

Accepted members get a private group chat, a shared shortlist and a to-do list for tours and applications.

Groups form here. Official applications to landlords and housing offices still happen with them directly.
