Nearby off-campus housing is recommended for students who are married, have children, prefer the off-campus environment or have special dietary needs. |
Things to consider when looking for off-campus housing include proximity to campus, available transportation, cost of utilities, dietary needs and security.
Life as a graduate student demands that much time be spent on campus attending classes, conducting research, participating in group meetings and attending cultural events. Living near campus makes the obligations of student life easier. Several restaurants and shopping centers are located nearby. Public transportation in the Phoenix/Glendale area is limited, so students living off campus must consider their transportation needs.
Students must also consider the cost of utilities when living off campus, as air conditioning required in the summer often results in high utility bills.
Housing Services helps students determine which housing option will best support the educational process and provides several resources for students who would like to live off campus.
