Each year the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders surveys its students concerning their current housing accommodations. Information regarding monthly rent, utilities, living environment, amenities, proximity to campus, etc. are sent to incoming students. While the university does offer graduate student housing, most of our students live off campus in either apartment complexes or rental houses. Our recent review of students enrolled in our program indicates their rents range between $475 and $1,100 per month. As you might expect, the closer you are to campus, the more expensive housing is. Living ten to fifteen minutes away can significantly reduce your monthly rent. Sharing a three-bedroom house or apartment with two other roommates will also cut costs. Our department’s Graduate Admissions Office can connect you with other incoming students who are looking for roommates to help share the cost of housing. Once you are admitted and indicate you plan to attend our graduate program, you will be contacted regarding these matters.
