OFF-CAMPUS LIFE CAN HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT PLACE

Off-Campus Life is here for CSU students to assist in finding housing, navigating renting/owning, and having positive offcampus living experiences. We provide numerous resources and staff dedicated to helping you and your foundation.

Here are a few of our most popular resources:

Csu Rentalsearch

RentalSearch is an exclusive site for the CSU community to find housing in Fort Collins. Visit rentalsearch.colostate.edu and log in using your EID to search for vacant rentals, rooms for rent, and potential roommates. You can also list your own vacant place, room for rent, or yourself as a potential roommate.

Csu Housing Fair

February 8th, 9am-5pm, LSC Grand Ballroom - Brought to you by Off-Campus Life, this free event is open to students, faculty, staff, and the public and takes place in the Lory Student Center every spring. On this day, you can visit with landlords, apartment complex personnel, property managers, and community resources. You can ask any questions you’d like, price compare, and see all your options laid out in one place. Be sure to bring a shopping bag for information and freebies to take with you!

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!

ROOMMATE MEET & MATCH

Like “speed dating” but for roommates! This program is designed to connect people who have a vacant room or rental and others who need a place to live. Offered multiple times throughout the year, this is a great opportunity to meet people face to face and do on-the-spot roommate interviews! Visit Off-Campus Life’s website calendar for future dates coming soon.

Visit Off-Campus Life to get all the help you need in finding the best place that’s right for you! We are located in Room 274 of the LSC, (970) 491-2248, ocl@colostate.edu, ocl.colostate.edu.
