Off-Campus Housing Guide
With 20,000 Cal Poly students in a relatively small county, finding housing can be hard — especially in the town of San Luis Obispo. If you’re looking for housing near campus, plan ahead. Most students start hunting for fall housing as early as winter quarter — though you can still find some options later in the year.
If this is your first time looking for off-campus housing, here’s a list of resources we’ve compiled to help.
Finding Off-Campus Housing
Before you start your search for the perfect off-campus bungalow, make sure you have a clear set of parameters to help you narrow down your options, including:
-
Roommates
-
Lease length
-
Distance from campus
-
Budget
Tenants' Rights -
Covid-19 Related Rental Accommodations
