Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students move off campus after living in the dorms their freshman year. Lawrence definitely caters to students who want to live off campus, and most students agree that finding somewhere to live off campus is convenient and affordable.

One of the most popular student-dominated off-campus areas is affectionately called the “student ghetto.” While houses here are usually pretty old and can have a few problems, students prefer this area because it’s within walking distance to campus and the bars and restaurants of downtown Lawrence and Massachusetts Street. More expensive living is also available for students willing to pay for it. The Legends Place Apartments are some of the priciest in Lawrence but are extremely nice and new. However, these apartments are not near campus, which is something many students look for when getting a place. The freedom of living off campus is refreshing for students after living with the rules and regulations of the dorms.

Off-Campus Housing > on-Campus Housing

Off-Campus housing is better than living on-campus. The only con is that you are farther away from the University. However, normally the housing will be near a bus route, which you can take every day to get to school at a descent time. The cost is about the same as living on-campus; it might even be cheaper because you can have a roommate.

Best of Campus Choices I Have Seen

Being from California I was amazed to see such nice apartments for so little money. They are incredible and I am looking forward to living off-campus next year.
