OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
Off campus housing is generally less expensive than on campus and is
readily available. These housing options are not owned or managed
by SLU. There are several apartments near SLU, less than a mile from
the heart of campus. There are many neighborhoods that are a short
drive, bus ride, or bike ride from SLU as well. As a student, you will
likely have to provide extra information to landlords and leasing
companies.
This may include visa information, passport information, proof of
acceptance at SLU, etc. The following websites provide a great list of
off campus properties to choose from
https://www.forrentuniversity.com/Saint-Louis-University
CONSIDER:
DEPOSIT (sometimes 2 month’s rent)
UTILITIES (water, trash, electric, gas, internet)
FURNISHINGS
LOCATION

Things to Consider – Off Campus
Security Deposit
Furnished vs. Non-Furnished
Utilities
Distance to campus
• All lead to extra $$ upfront
