Housing

A staff member at the Office of Student Housing shows students information on apartment options.

The Office of Student Housing (OSH) is pleased to welcome you to Boston, and our staff is looking forward to helping you find a place to call home. OSH is located in the Campus Center Suite 3400 and assists current and prospective students who are looking for local housing.

Although the university does not own any residence halls or manage any housing complexes, the Office of Student Housing is committed to assisting current and prospective students as they navigate the housing process. 

OSH acts in an advisory capacity only and does not make reservations, appointments, or rental commitments nor does OSH participate in any negotiations with landlords on a student’s behalf. Individuals must, on their own, meet with the landlords, inspect the apartments, and make the lease arrangements. Because of varying costs and the quality of accommodations, personal visits to available rooms/apartments should be made before making final arrangements.
