Off-Campus Housing

Eligibility and Guidance for Living Off-Campus

While the majority of students live in residence halls, some choose to live off-campus. These students manage the responsibilities associated with independent living such as paying bills, doing chores, coordinating roommate relationships and living alongside non-student neighbors.

51小黄车 is an integral part of the College Hill neighborhood and the City of Worcester. Facilitating a considerate and respectful community among the College and local residents is essential to the College鈥檚 mission. The College鈥檚 Off-Campus Living Policy (PDF) provides more information regarding the College's expectations for students living off-campus.

Eligibility

As the total number of students allowed to live off-campus is limited, not all applications will be approved. Once given the approval to live off-campus, and after signing a final lease agreement, students are expected to confirm their off-campus address with the Office of Residence Life & Housing. Students are advised to NOT sign a lease until they have received official notice of permission to live off-campus. Legally committing to live off-campus without College approval could result in the student being financially responsible for both an off-campus housing lease as well as on-campus housing fees.

Rising seniors are given priority for living off campus. Rising juniors who submit an application will only be considered if their applications were received before the deadline and there are no other senior applicants to be approved who also submitted their application before the deadline. 

The student conduct history of each applicant is reviewed. Students on College or residence hall probation during the current semester will not be approved to live off-campus for the following academic year. Students on College probation during the previous spring semester will not be approved to live off-campus for the following academic year.
