- Off-Campus Housing

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Nearly all students move off campus after their sophomore year into one of the options surrounding campus. UD students have nearly taken over all of the neighborhoods around campus, much to the dismay of the few remaining elderly residents who maliciously call the cops for any late-night noise. Options range from apartment complexes to houses, old and new. Some houses are extremely run-down, and students planning on partying hard usually look for these houses on purpose. Other students generally find something at least nicer than the dorms.

While most students find off-campus housing a more enjoyable experience than the dorms, you have to be careful about where you live. Certain areas are more dangerous than others, and some are considered party central. All the best places go first, so it’s important to start looking early. Some students have had major issues with bad landlords who refuse to fix broken pipes and air conditioners and try to take advantage of them. There are also some very strict rules in the Newark standard lease that are worth paying careful attention to before signing.

A Little Tricky

The off-campus housing can be a little tricky. The landlords are great and have been working with college students since they've probably started renting. However, Newark government does not want college students living in houses that actual residents of Newark could live in. Having said that, people who want to live with 4 or more people have to be careful because most houses are zoned for only 3 people to live in. however, the landlords have been fighting this and are always willing to let as many people that can fit in the house, live in the house. As for price, you just have to look around, there are plenty of houses and some of them are typical college houses.

Studio Green Off-Campus Housing

Studio Green is an apartment complex affiliated with the University of Delaware. It is on one of the main roads of UD and is about 10minutes in walking distance from the main campus. They offer study rooms, a pool and an entertainment center. I hear the pricing is not as bad either.
