Commuter & Off-Campus Housing

Off-Campus Housing Resources

Roommate contracts are an important foundation for creating a positive and respectful living environment. By putting agreements in writing, everyone has a shared understanding of responsibilities, boundaries, and household norms. Having an agreed-upon contract also encourages open dialogue and helps roommates navigate potential conflicts in a healthy, proactive way.

Below is the official Commuter and Off-Campus Housing roommate contract! This document can serve as a helpful starting point, and roommates are encouraged to customize it to fit their unique living arrangements and needs.

Chore charts are an essential tool for maintaining harmony in shared living spaces. They help roommates set clear expectations, divide responsibilities fairly, and prevent misunderstandings about household upkeep. By organizing tasks visually, everyone can stay accountable and contribute to a clean and comfortable home environment.

We’ve included a few of our chore chart templates below to help you get started, but feel free to create a system that works best for you and your roommates! 

This presentation provides an overview of the fundamentals of finding, securing, and successfully navigating off-campus housing. It covers key steps in the housing search, important terminology, and essential tips for being a responsible tenant, roommate, and neighbor.

The presentation can be delivered upon request to student groups, classes, or departments and can also be customized to meet the needs of your audience.
