The price for your next off-campus apartment as a student varies heavily on factors such as apartment size and roommate number. Sharing an apartment is the most common and practical way to lower costs and keep a solid budget as a student. Prices for apartments could range from $500 for a 4 person apartment to $1,500 for a one-bedroom for rent alone. These are benchmarks for student rentals, but costs can be lower or higher depending on location, condition, utilities, parking and proximity to campus. The options also vary based on when you begin your apartment search. The sooner you begin your search, the more options there are, so make sure to set a timeline and understand when to start your search.

Although Providence College works directly with JumpOffCampus, they recommend that you do the research on your own to understand what best matches your preferences.

When budgeting, remember to account for more than just rent. Utilities, internet, parking, transportation, security deposits, and renters insurance can all add to your monthly costs. Check out JumpOffCampus' article on the REAL cost of renting.
