<p>I am wondering if you look for off-campus housing, what's the likelihood to find something decent in July-Aug for the 2010-2011 school year? I am asking because my son missed the deadline for on-campus housing registration and now he is looking for off-campus. Most of the listings on craigslist now require immediate occupancy or rental starts in May. I was wondering if there will be off-campus rentals available when we wait until summer.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how much it costs for parking on campus?</p>
<p>You can probably get sublets of students going abroad, but my s has been dealing with this and found that all leases were 1 yr leases. He is signing June-June. Unfortunately thats more common than not.</p>
<p>My S in another school in Missouri saw the same thing about 12 month lease. I think it must be pretty standard. However, with a couple of housemates it can still be cheaper than the university, even with the extra months.</p>
<p>Stonebridge, do you think you got sandbagged (“Oh gee Dad, I was so busy with my courses I missed the deadline. I guess I’ll just have to rent a house with a few of my buds”)? LOL.</p>
<p>It’s possible but I do think it’s due to his absent-mindedness The sad thing was he was going to rent with two other kids on-campus or off-campus. One kid became a filler with three other kids for a four-BR apt, one signed up on-campus, so now he is left all by himself. He said he had been study so hard and kept a weird schedule that his friends could not get in touch with him. I have no reason not to believe him.</p>
<p>Sorry I didn’ know sooner,stonebridge. My s’s 4th roommate bailed and they lost a great 4 br house that they were really excited about. They just found another house, a 3br, for the remaining 3 roommies, and signed the application today.</p>
<p>I think there is a class of 2012 and class of 2013 facebook group. That might be a good place to post. Also just putting it on his FB page could reach a lot of people. Good luck.</p>
<p>That’s so unfortunate! I am sure he would be happy to be the forth! I just texted him about FB. Thanks for the suggestions!
Tonight, he went to look at a room for rent on Freret St not too far from the campus. It turned out to be quite a dump, and his room will be in basement which he would not consider. I don’t blame him…</p>
<p>My understanding is the housing office also keeps a list of approved (not sure what that entails exactly) landlords. Could be another source if that is correct.</p>
