Hi! It’s great that you’re planning ahead for your off-campus housing. Starting your search in June for an August semester is a bit on the late side, as many students begin looking for housing 3-6 months in advance.

This will also give you time to visit potential homes, sign leases, and settle in before the semester starts. If you do start in June, just be prepared for a more limited selection and be ready to make decisions quickly. Good luck with your search!
