My son is returning to Brown University and needs housing for this year. Any tips for finding a room in house or apartment to share? Or sublet for the fall?
Craigslist. If he’s on Facebook, post something there. Brown has an off-campus housing list that is connected to the Residential Life website.
Does he already have off-campus housing permission via the ResLife office?
There seem to be quite a few rooms still open via the grad student bulletin board (an online listserv).
Does he need to be a grad student to use the bulletin boards? He’s undergrad - or just need a brown email address?
bruno asks a good question – if he’s an undergrad, he needs permission to live off campus. If he doesn’t have that – isn’t Brown obligated to find him on-campus housing?
He does have permission for off campus housing.
I believe undergrads can subscribe to the GSBB. He should mention that he’s looking for housing.
