<p>I am transferring to Alabama for the fall of 2013 and I was wondering where the best off campus housing is located? I am looking for a place that is close to campus and where I will be able to meet a lot of people.</p>
<p>East Edge and Crimson Sterling are two places.</p>
<p>For student housing complexes that are full of students, but a bit further away from campus: The Retreat at Lake Tamaha, and the brand-new Lofts.</p>
<p>My DD chose Crimson Student Living. About 6 blocks behind Bryant Denny Stadium. Very similiar accomodations as her honors dorms last year and she was able to secure an early move-in date. They will help place you if you do not have roommates pre-selected.</p>
<p>Most of the newer complexes are already filled for this fall. If East Edge has any remaining rooms there are VERY few. </p>
<p>My son will be at the Woodlands next year and I believe they have do have some space left, the Retreat may also have space since it’s a bit farther away. If you don’t have a car, some of the complexes do have shuttles, but if you don’t want to rely on those then you may want to be a little closer.</p>
