On this day, you can visit with landlords, apartment complex personnel, property managers, and community resources.

Off-Campus Life Apartment Complex and Property Management Lists On the Off-Campus Life website (ocl.colostate.edu), you will find two easy-to-use resources: • The Apartment Complex List is an extensive list with pricing, lease options, amenities, proximity to campus, etc.—all the details you need to know about apartments catering to students. • The Property Management Company List is a compilation of property managers in town with contact information and direct links to their websites. It’s a great place to search for houses, condos, and duplexes!
