Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus housing is basically nonexistent at Washington & Jefferson. The school prefers to have students live on campus, and the majority of students who do commute live at home with their families. There are some upperclassmen who do find apartments off campus, but this is very rare. While the apartments these students live in are fairly close to campus, the students don’t save that much on housing costs.

Besides the hassle of finding your own apartment, there is also the problem of getting the college to allow you to live off campus. They rarely let students live off campus, and most students find that it is just easier to live in the housing on campus. Since the college does not like students to make their own living arrangements, they are starting to provide housing options that allow students to have a more independent lifestyle. For example, some of the dorms are grouped in suites with their own living rooms and kitchens.

Off Campus Housing

W&J doesn't offer off campus housing. Since it's a pretty small campus, it really it's necessary since everyone is guaranteed housing all four years. The houses around campus are pretty pricey, so it wouldn't be worth the hassle.

You can't live off campus unless you are a commuter, but there really is no need to.
