The sound of email notifications can only mean one thing — you’ve finally gotten your college acceptance letter. Congratulations!

College opens up a whole new world for you. You can join a fraternity or a sorority, run for elections to join the student council, or maybe take up a work-study job. Did you know that you could get a pirate’s license, do an entire degree on the Beatles’ music, or join a squirrel club? The possibilities are endless!

But before you get to all that, you’ve gotta be thinking about various things like course registrations, what to pack, and most importantly: your housing arrangements! Fret not, young freshman, Unilodgers will help you find the perfect accommodation in the USA in no time!

Let’s start with a simple question. 

What does Unilodgers do?

Unilodgers is the world’s leading platform for student housing, present in more than 229 cities across the US. We have more than 5 million students, from more than 177 countries each year, signing up with us to find the perfect student housing in the U.S. Whether it is affordable flats or en-suite rooms, we are committed to providing the best student housing options you can find! Sounds pretty sweet, eh?

What is student accommodation like in the U.S.?

When it comes to finding a home in the U.S., it boils down to two choices: university housing dorms and off-campus student accommodation. We can get into the nitty-gritty of each one quite easily. But who’s got the time for that? Best to keep it brief then!

Here are some quick, easy-to-remember pointers about university housing.

• All student dorms come with basic furnishings.
• You have a strong community network.
• You don’t have to travel to get to class.

Of course, living on campus also means less privacy, minimal personal space, and not having the opportunity to grow through adopting real-world responsibilities!

With that in mind, here’s why off-campus student housing is an equally good option, if not better.

• Off-campus student housing options come with an extensive list of useful amenities you can take advantage of.
• Making friends with people outside your college gives you the opportunity to explore the city you live in, with a more diverse and entertaining crowd.
• More privacy! You don’t have to jostle for space in off-campus accommodation, unlike a student dorm.

The benefits of off-campus housing far outweigh what you would usually get with student dorms. You can cook elaborate yet inexpensive meals rather than resorting to instant ramen for days on end. Most rooms come fully furnished and boast comfy beds and large closets, so you’re guaranteed a good night’s sleep and enough space to store your back-to-school wardrobe. Appliances are not communal, so you won’t have to deal with someone stealing your leftover pizza you were saving for the party of one.

Luckily, with Unilodgers, you will have a plethora of options with all these brilliant benefits and perks to choose from! The biggest advantage of all? We have options close to city centers as well as the campus, so you can step out for a midweek beer or reach the college library in a flash when finals week approaches!

Which cities are we located in?

Good question! We’re present in more than 220 cities in the U.S. No matter where you’re headed, chances are that we already have a sweet place waiting to be leased by you.

• Student housing Austin
• Student housing Tallahassee
• Student housing San Diego
• Student housing Raleigh
• Student housing Philadelphia

• Student housing San Marcos and many, many more!

Leaving home isn’t easy; it means getting out of your comfort zone. We can help you by easing that transition and by finding you the perfect place you can call home.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up with Unilodgers today and make your house hunt a pleasant and memorable experience!
