Lakeland has an off campus housing list where landlords can list properties for rent.

Deciding where to live while you study is an important decision. Here are somethings to consider.  

Cost: when you are looking at the cost of housing make sure you take into account more than just the rent. You need to consider the cost of heat, lights, water, internet, and any additional fees that you may need to pay.  

Location: where your housing is located is going to impact your daily activity. Living off campus is an option, but be sure you understand the distance from campus and amenities.

If you do not have a vehicle and need to walk or pay for a taxi you need to consider what that time or cost may be.
