HOUSING GUIDANCE

OFF CAMPUS HOUSING RESOURCES

Yale is home to 6,500 Graduate and Professional School students, many of whom prefer to live off campus. The University offers limited on-campus housing options for graduate and PhD students, so the Yale Housing Office maintains a portal with Off-Campus Listings in which the property owners are verified.


We recommend starting there, or with listings that will be updated on this page from within the School of Art community, or on the closed Facebook Group. As you look for apartments Yale recommends trying to stay within the Yale Shuttle routes to benefit from this service as well as campus safety resources such as the LiveSafe app, but this is of course up to you.



Additionally, students leaving the program will soon have apartments that they are vacating, and we will begin posting those opportunities here; there are some property owners in the vicinity who have routinely rented to School of Art and Architecture students and those individuals can be easy to work with.


When using outside listing resources such as Facebook or Craigslist, be mindful of course of scams and bad actors. Anyone presenting themselves as a Yale student, staff or faculty should be able to verify their identity with a university email address that ends either in yale.edu orbulldogs.yale.edu; NEVER @yale.com. Do not send passwords, verification codes or money to anyone without verifying their identity or signing a vetted lease.*
