Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the Logan neighborhood, the rent prices and the distance from campus for decent houses and apartments are almost unbeatable. Very few off-campus students need to drive to school. The houses aren’t always the sort of place you’d want to take your mom to, but hey, this is college. Peeling paint, draughty rooms, and beer-stained carpets don’t seem like too big a deal. Sinto is probably the best street to live on, in terms of proximity to Gonzaga and general safety and appearance. Mission Park is pretty, but also more dangerous and removed from campus. Increased distance from campus means bigger houses, higher crime, and fewer students. But, none can hold a candle to frat houses, either in terms of size or affluence.

Although living off campus can be cheap and convenient, it also has drawbacks. Landlords are a thoroughly mixed bag—some are helpful, but others will attempt to hassle, connive, and pilfer you at every turn. Most houses are poorly furnished and insulated, so be prepared to pay for warmth and comfort. Off-campus students have to work harder to stay integrated with the community. This life is terrific if you get a house with four of your best friends, but not so jolly if you end up sharing a dingy apartment with an acquaintance who was stranded like you. To end up in a good situation, you have to start looking early, research landlords and houses, and be wary.

The Logan Neighborhood

Off campus housing is pretty easy to get whether it's through the school or not. Houses offered by the school are pretty nice and the school offers help with maintenance. Very safe and parking is pretty easy around the house. "The Logan" is sort of a nickname given to the houses around campus. There is a mix of student housing and Spokane resident housing so you wont be necessarily living next door to a student. The Logan gets very busy on the weekends.

On-Campus Living

You are required to live on-campus the first two years. This will honestly be one of your best college experiences. All freshman live in dorms and sophomores have the option of living in the dorm or on the on-campus apartments (Duassault). All dorms include free laundry and include either a kitchen per floor or at least per building. All living places are relatively close to campus and not to far from the main part of campus.

Off Campus Housing

There is plenty of off-campus housing available, but the prices are generally high if they are located close to campus. The neighborhoods are a little sketchy, but I currently live off campus and I've never had any problems.
