Living off-campus is an opportunity to branch out beyond the college into the community of the greater Williamsburg area. It is a unique chance for students to become more integrated into an historical town while at the same time remaining strongly connected to what’s going on on-campus.

When getting started in looking for an apartment, there are a number of considerations. Locale and costs are just two of the many aspects to choosing an apartment. Here are some links within the Off-Campus Housing Page that should help you to get started.
