Budgeting for your first lease
Compare monthly rent, deposit, whether utilities are included, and any recurring fees. Ask about the lease length before you commit — semester leases and 12-month leases differ a lot in total cost.
CollegeRoomFinder
Find your place near campus.
Private rooms and whole places around campus, with real lease terms, costs and availability stated by the host.
Hosts, property managers and apartment communities list here. Students and parents search and inquire directly — parents can ask their own questions, and a parent's messages are never shared with a student's account without consent.

Useful before you tour
What to check on a tour
Look at the room itself and the shared spaces: kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and outdoor areas. Ask who else lives there and how common areas are kept.
Getting to campus
Ask about walking or biking distance, bus routes and parking before you sign. Listings that state a transit or distance note show it on the card.
