Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As they grow older, students embark on a whole new world: off-campus living. UNL students have fond memories of the dorms, but there comes a time when students feel they need their own place. Lucky for them, there are quite a few places in and around Lincoln for a kid to call home. The commute is the largest concern among off-campus students, and they recommend never straying too far from the nest. Also, many students prefer to live in the college communities surrounding campus.

With three out of four UNL students living off campus, apartments are highly sought after. You probably won’t live in a mansion or cook anything more advanced than pasta or cereal, but it’s college after all.

Great Housing Around Campus.

UNL offers decent priced, close to campus apartments. They offer a shuttle between the apartments and campus. Parking is great and the convenience is awesome because of the shuttle that runs back and forth.

Plenty of Houses

On campus housing is amazing here. The dorms are great and plenty of greek houses. Off-campus, most students get houses. There are a million houses around campus. Apartments aren't as common but there are some good ones. Housing is one of the better aspects here.

Off-Campus Housing

I live on campus, but intend to move off next year. Apartment or house rent is very affordable and generally you can find one very close to campus. The cost of living on campus is just not worth it in my opinion, and my friends that live off are much happier and saving money.
