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. Ideally, you might want to start your search in March or April to have a wider array of options and better chances at securing a place. 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!
