Off Campus Alternatives

Whether you choose to live on or off campus, take all appropriate safety precautions and make certain that your landlord has properly insured the building where you may be renting.

This section of the DHRL website is designed to make getting settled a little simpler. We hope the following information can be a starting point to more in depth research.

Getting started in your search for off campus housing:

• Safe Building Feature checklist, Fire Safety Checklist, Renters insurance, and more!
• Off Campus Alternatives Housing Booklet
• Virtual Bulletin Board postings of local off campus listings
• Roommates- Need one? Log onto the TJU Pulse System and find the Organization: Housing and Residence Life. Once you arrive, access the Off-Campus Living Discussion Board. This is where you can find a roommate or post that you are seeking housing accommodations. Since the Housing and Residence Life Organization is on Pulse, only Jefferson affiliates can access this bulletin board.
