Welcome to Off-Campus and Transfer Student Services!

The mission of the Office of Off-Campus Community Relations is to enhance the quality of life for off-campus and transfer students, and the community; to develop and support opportunities for student involvement in and connection to the university and community; to encourage personal and social development as responsible citizens; and to nurture an understanding of the interdependencies of people and their environments.

Living off campus provides opportunities and challenges. Opportunities can include independent living and a greater connection to the Boone community. Challenges can include greater effort for on-campus involvement and for identification of off-campus resources. This website provides information to meet these challenges and to enhance opportunities for connection and involvement both on and off-campus.

Housing Resources

Looking for housing? Our website has 3 resources for your use and convenience: 1) Local Landlords List, 2) Housing Advertisement Forums (Roommates, Subleases, Rentals), and 3) Hyperlinks to our community's four local newspapers.

To view the Local Landlords List, click on the "Local Landlords" menu item to the left. We suggest you use the list by calling landlords to inquire about available rentals.

To view the Newspaper Links, scroll down to the bottom of the landlords list. We suggest you use these links to view the "Classifieds" sections in each newspaper.

To view the Housing Advertisement Forums, return to our home page (click on "Home Page"), scroll down to the block on the left labeled "Housing Advertisements", and click on the appropriate forum.

For graduate students, the Appalachian Social Order of Grad Students has some additional housing forums. Click on "Graduate Students" in the menu to the left and follow the prompts to locate more housing resources.

Happy Home Hunting!
