Housing Opportunities

Graduate students are highly sought tenants in the Burlington area and property owners often advertise specifically to them with special rates (less than would be offered to undergraduate students). Don't hesitate to ask housing contacts if they would consider lowering the advertised rate to secure a graduate student; it never hurts to ask!

Explore housing opportunities & housing support resources via the UVM Off-campus Housing Site...

UVM Off-Campus Housing Resource List: This resource, developed out of the UVM Office of Student & Community Relations (OSCR) includes many helpful resources for Burlington Area housing (UVM/MED credentials required)...
