Housing Recommendations
and Opportunities
Current OSC graduate students have compiled
some suggestions for new classmates looking for places to live —
and a few are even seeking new roommates, as listed below under
Current Housing Opportunities.
Suggestions
-
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 and look
run-down and have obnoxious 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.

I'm moving to Japan for 1 year and I'm looking for someone to sublet my 1 bedroom duplex. I'm looking for someone who is fairly neat and quiet and will be a good fit for my friends that live next door and will respect the furnishings I'm leaving in the duplex. I have loved living in this area, the neighbors are very nice and it's a quiet place to live. If you are at all interested please email ASAP! I'm happy to give more details or show the property if you are interested. My goal is to have someone set up by June 24, with rent starting anytime after July 24. Thanks! Contact: Julia
