<p>Does anyone have recommendations regarding off campus housing? Any decent apartments close by? Thanks in advance for your help.</p>
<p>I would also appreciate any suggestions!</p>
<p>UT Dallas offers a service on the housing website that allows students to search for nearby off campus housing:</p>

<p>My daughter got an email from UTD today about near-campus housing. My oldest has been going to UTD for 2 years now and has always lived on campus. My middle dd is joining her in the fall and will also be on campus.</p>
<p>The email was for these two places which are both on the UTD shuttle route:
McCallum Glen Apartments
7740 McCallum Blvd.
(972) 381-8925

<p>Courts of McCallum Apartments
7777 McCallum Blvd.
(972) 248-2626

<p>I got that email about near-campus housing and visited the apartments. It was disappointing. They are trying to attract UTD students to the apartments, but the current residents are not primarily students. I asked the leasing office what percentage of the residents were students and she wasn’t able to tell me. While I was there I saw a couple groups of teens hanging around aimlessly and generally didn’t feel good about living by myself at that location. </p>
<p>Hopefully I haven’t discouraged anyone about the place; just thought I’d add my observations based on my visit to check it out.</p>
<p>Yeah, don’t live in McCallum. I had a friend who lived there and it was pretty damn awful. You could try the Amli off of Frankford and Coit, pretty close to school. There’s also the Marquis at Waterview, but that’s a little pricier.</p>
