Geneva College
- Off-Campus Housing

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Geneva strives for campus community, so the administration discourages off-campus living—but the cost benefit and the freedom drive many students off campus anyway. Only students who are seniors or over the age of 21 may live off campus, and the college limits the number to 50 students. Many students who live up to an hour away commute to avoid the cost of on-campus living. Students living off campus are released from mandatory meal plans, but they also often remove themselves from campus life and may have to drive to classes.

The Beaver Falls area offers cheap housing, with apartments and houses priced from $350 to $600 per month, depending on quality and location. College Hill is the most popular area because the neighborhood is good and within walking distance from campus. The best and most popular option is to find a group of friends and rent a house. The College doesn’t help much with finding a place, but they have a board for posting off-campus housing advertisements. Most rentals go through private owners, and some professors rent out rooms in their houses.

Great for Upperclassman

Geneva does not allow freshman to live off-campus, but they do offer 6 off-campus "houses" available to students for upperclassmen. I know plenty of seniors that live in houses in downtown Beaver Falls with a group of friends, and it is MUCH less expensive than paying room and board to live on campus. Plus, when you live off-campus you're not required to have a mea plan.

Nicer Than the Dorms

Off-campus housing that the school provides is much nicer than the dorms. For those of us that live off-campus with our parents or with a roommate, we have more freedom than on campus.

Professors and Alumni Rent Rooms

Students aren't allowed to live off-campus unless they're seniors and have permission from the college. However, some underclassmen manage to get around this rule, especially if they're athletes. I've never lived off-campus, but I know there are lots of Geneva alumni and professors who rent out rooms for pretty decent prices.
