Background
Off-campus housing is any housing not owned by the University. Besides privately owned rooms, apartments and houses, off-campus housing includes fraternity and sorority houses ("Greek" houses) and student-owned and operated co-ops.
A little over two-thirds of the University of Michigan's 38,000 students live in off-campus housing. There is space for just one-third of the student body in University-owned and operated housing, which is guaranteed only to new freshmen. About half of each year's current residence hall students move off campus for the following year.
Housing Options
 Rooms
Roommate situations in our listings are posted as Rooms for Rent, Available Roommates and Available Sublets.
Current students who may need to sublet their space in an apartment or a house are able to advertise in these listings as well. (Some of these sublets may be whole apartments for rent.)
Rooms in a rooming houses are generally single rooms rented by individuals, and there may or may not be common areas. The listings will specify what amenities are available.
 Rooms in owner-occupied houses are bedrooms rented out in a house where the owner lives as well. The renter should have access to other parts of the house (common areas). Sometimes other people rent there, also.
- Efficiencies
An efficiency is an apartment in which the living and sleeping areas are combined into one room. The unit may have a kitchenette. It will have a bathroom separate from the living/sleeping area.
- One-, two-, and three-bedroom units
These units may be entire houses, parts of a house, or apartments. The apartment units may be in a converted house, or in an apartment building or apartment complex.
- Four-, five-, and six-bedroom units
These multi-room rentals are usually houses. A group of students rent one house together, most often on one lease; all of them are responsible for the rent.
