Graduate student Evis Farka said although she faced difficulties such as a tight budget, she was still able to find off-campus housing before school started this year. "[Finding an apartment] can be stressful and time-consuming, but it is doable," she said.
Farka also mentioned that, although she searched for off-campus housing on her own, the Heller School is especially useful in helping graduate students find off-campus housing.
"The Heller School provides a lot of opportunities for students," Farka says. The Heller School sponsors two weekends for international students to network with other students for off-campus housing.
According to Farka, international students who house-hunted in July were able to find places to live within one weekend without the aid of an off-campus housing director.
Should on-campus students worry about transitioning to off-campus living? Farka says, "There is a transition period but it doesn't make a huge difference. You just have to take care of a few things. It's not rocket science."
