Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students at Auburn overwhelmingly prefer off-campus housing to on-campus housing. For the most part, it’s convenient, relatively easy to obtain, and sometimes even cheaper than living in a dorm.

While off-campus housing is preferred, students still advise you to try living on campus for at least a year or so. When you do decide to get a place off campus, start looking early. Since off-campus housing is so popular, decent apartments, townhouses, and condos can fill up just as quickly as the dorms do.

Off-Campus Housing at Auburn University

Tons of Options

For the huge student population, there are hardly any dorms on campus. Freshmen are not guaranteed housing and because of that, many people never live on campus at all. There are LOADS of apartments that are either an easy walking distance, a short car ride, or the tiger transit picks you up in front of your complex. The conditions of most apartments are great! For the most part, they come furnished and are cheap for what you get. If you are a freshman who is discouraged about not getting on campus housing, don't be! There are several great choices for you that are cheaper and give you more freedom.

Good Housing Options

Off campus housing is abundant and convenient. There are many different options close to campus and a bit farther. The tiger transit runs to pretty much every apartment complex and neighborhood where college students live so parking isnt really and issue and the whole town over all is very safe.

I Love Off-Campus Housing

I love the off-campus housing options here in Auburn. They have several options to choose from, from apartments, studios, condos, townhouse, house, and many more. Pros would be you have your own place, you don't have to share a bathroom normally with anybody. You can do whatever whenever. Cons would be you are not that close to campus for some, but you have the transit. The cost I feel, is average, not to expensive for everything you are getting. The staff is always friendly wherever you go, and they will help you with any problems. Parking can sometimes be hectic, since most places require a sticker, but they do offer guest parking. Some are safer than others, depending on if it is a gated community or not.
