Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Juniata likes its students on campus, and requires non-commuter students to get permission to move off campus completely. If you want to stay on campus all four years, there will be a place for you, though many students choose to move off campus or into the nearby College-owned houses and apartments for their senior year. The increasingly large incoming classes also mean that it’s becoming easier to get permission to move off campus if you choose. And if you’re aiming to get one of the College-owned houses or apartments, keep your grades up. They’re allotted based on seniority and cumulative GPA. In the end, it’s worth it, as this housing is spacious and in great condition.

In general, off-campus housing is also safe and very close to the College. The majority of houses and apartments available for rent are less than a five-minute drive from campus, and many are even within convenient walking distance. If you choose to get your own apartment, it will probably be cheaper than staying on campus, but if you go through the College for off-campus housing, you’ll have the cushion of feeling like you’re on your own without having to worry about paying for things like heat. Aside from parking, the major complaint off-campus students have is that they sometimes feel segregated from the bubble that is campus life. Then again, that segregation is why some of them moved off in the first place. Off-campus living is not for everyone, but those that choose to move are usually satisfied with the experience.

Very Little Off-Campus Housing Available

There is very little off campus housing available at Juniata. There are a few Juniata-owned places available but hardly any other options available. On campus housing is guaranteed for all four years and so living off-campus is not something a lot of people do at Juniata. You have to complete a written request to live off campus.

Cheap and Close

Overall, it's pretty easy to find off-campus housing. Housing prices in Huntingdon are extremely cheap compared to other schools in other areas, and all seniors are granted off-campus housing. You do have to be careful about what landlord you rent from though--some are pretty negligent.

Most Are Close to Campus!

There are some college off-campus housing for some other options which are pretty nice. There is the Eco-house, Pink, 305, as well as a few other nice ones very close to campus. Also it seems like there is a good availability of off-campus housing. Other than that I've heard in some cases it's cheaper to live off campus, and the locals in town are friendly.
