Off campus summer housing

<p>Does anyone have experience with obtaining off campus summer housing? Are there apartments that lease for just the summer or do you have to sublet from someone who has a full year lease? Is there a good source for available summer leases/sublets? When should he start looking?</p>

<p>My son did research last summer and used his $2000 one time NMF stipend to pay for housing at the Bluffs. He was in a four bedroom apartment to himself! A Washer & Dryer is in each unit at the Bluffs.</p>

<p>^Thanks! Did your son have to sublet or just sign a lease for the summer?</p>

<p>He signed the contract with the UA housing office and the charges were posted as on campus housing for Summer term.</p>

<p>Randomparent: If your student is in the honors college, have him or her also let the staff know of an interest in subleasing a place. Sometimes a student will head home for the summer and would like someone to occupy his/her place for a few months. Or have your student speak with his/her adviser about this. That could lead to a summer housing opportunity.</p>

<p>Thanks momof3boyz and momreads. I will suggest he talk to the honors college staff.</p>

<p>So if S rents an apt for next year does it start in aug and run through the following summer? Or does it start in May?</p>

<p>Our lease at Sterling Crimson lease ran August to August…$605 per person for a 4 bedroom…we also paid utilities at a bout $40 a month. If you want to have someone assume your lease then you have to pay Sterling Crimson and additional $350. We paid no deposit.</p>
