The University of Rochester has resources and staff available to make the transition to graduate school in Rochester as seamless as possible. We can help if you are new to the Rochester area, or just looking for more information on convenient housing and transportation options.

It is never too early to begin exploring your housing and transportation options, get started today.

 

Housing

Both on-campus and off-campus housing options are available to all Warner students.

On-campus Housing

Students enrolling at the Warner School can take advantage of the University of Rochester graduate housing for students and their families. There are a variety of housing opportunities adjacent to campus, including a high-rise apartment building and townhouses.

On-campus housing has limited space available, so we encourage you to participate in the housing lottery, which requires you to submit a completed application by early May. Aside from the lottery you can submit a housing application, but availability is not guaranteed.
Staff is available to provide support, address concerns, and encourage involvement in our graduate communities. Details about housing choices, photos, the lottery, and contact information are available through the link below.

Off-campus

There are many apartment options conveniently located near campus. You are welcome to explore these on your own or take advantage of the Office for Off-Campus Living.

The Office for Off-Campus Living maintains a database of housing opportunities within proximity of the University of Rochester campus. They also offer off-campus housing advising, rental application and lease reviewing services, and occasional tours of Rochester neighborhoods. Maps of Rochester, renter’s insurance information, safety checklists, and other information can also be obtained through the office.
 
International students can get assistance in understanding the process of renting an apartment in the United States and receive help locating neighborhoods that are suitable for their lifestyle and budget.
