Off-campus Alternatives

Whether you choose to live on or off-campus, take all appropriate safety precautions and make certain that your landlord has properly insured the building where you may be renting.

This section of the DHRL website is designed to make getting settled a little simpler. We hope the following information can be a starting point to more in depth research.

Getting started in your search for off campus housing:

• Safe Building Feature checklist, Fire Safety Concerns, Renter's Insurance, and more...
• Off-campus Alternatives Housing Booklet (We apologize before this link is temporarily unavailable)
• Bulletin Board postings of local off campus listings
• Roommates — Need one? Log onto the TJU Pulse and find the Organization: Housing and Residence Life. Once you find the organization page, access the Off-campus Living Discussion Board. This is where you can find a roommate or post that you are seeking housing accommodations. Since the Housing and Residence Life Organization is on Pulse, only Jefferson affiliates can access this bulletin board. If you have your Campus Key/Password, click here.
