Best Time to Look for a Place

Start looking for off-campus housing about halfway through the spring semester, especially as it gets closer to finals. Students who live off campus at that time may be getting ready to end their lease to go home for the summer.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

By the time you’re an upperclassman, you may want to seriously consider looking at off-campus housing. Most of the time, it’s actually cheaper than the off-campus apartments, and you don’t have to worry about getting written up for violating one of Belmont’s rules. Of course, the flip side of that is proximity. There are a few apartment complexes and housing options within walking distance of campus, but they’re much more expensive. If you move farther away, you’re going to need plenty of spare time in the morning for your commute, as parking at Belmont is difficult to find! You also won’t have the luxury of running back to your place if you realize you forgot an assignment or just want to relax in between classes.

Most students who live off campus will recruit their good friends as roommates, but if you’re short a few people or can’t find a good place to live, check out Belmont’s Off-Campus Housing Helper. This underutilized tool allows people in the community to post information about spaces for rent in the area. It also links to apartment-finding websites and information about the Nashville public transportation system. You can find the Off-Campus Housing Helper on Belmont’s Residence Life page.

Off-Campus Housing at Belmont University

Accessible

A majority of students live off campus and have found houses that are in a great proximity to school and are very affordable (cheaper than the dorms) especially if you go in on rent with roommates. All of my freshman friends are decided on moving off campus next semester and all have found a house to at least consider

What I Know About Off-Campus Living

I've lived in two different apartments off campus: Westmont Apartments and Howe-Garden Apartments. The first is off of West End, the other in East Nashville where I currently live. The closer you want to live to Belmont, the pricier it will be whereas East Nashville has fairly low rent. The drawback of living in East Nashville is it's a bit farther off, so instead of rolling out of bed and walking to class ten minutes before it starts, you'll have to get up maybe an hour or so before your class starts and be out the door, on the road 20 minutes before class time so you can get there in time to find a parking spot. Even though its some hassle, its worth the $350 I save every month! Also, roommates is absolutely the way to go with saving money, and I've known some people get great deals by renting out a house and making every possible room a bedroom. Belmont also has a housing finder link on their website that is extremely helpful.

Off Campus

Located in downtown Nashville, finding an off campus place can be pricey and just a hassle overall. On campus living is very relaxed and still allows you a lot of freedom.
