Campus Connections News:
Welcome to the USP Off Campus Community! It is
the hope of the Department of Student Life that your experience
living off campus will be enjoyable and educational. Philadelphia
is a diverse environment with many sub-communities, each with their
own distinct cultures. Becoming part of these communities can be
one of the most educational experiences of your life.
The Department of Student Life maintains a searchable database
of area apartments and houses for rent. However, we do not act in
a liaison capacity in any way with the landlords. Our Department
maintains this database as a service for students seeking off campus
accommodations. If you have any questions or suggestions, please
email Mr. Ross W. Radish.
Incoming and Current First Year students
please note:
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia requires all unmarried
incoming and first year students under the age of 21 and whose permanent
address is beyond the 30 miles commuting range to reside in USP
housing. Signing a lease or putting a deposit on an
off campus location before receiving an offcial exemption is financially
hazardous and done at your own risk.
We suggest a few tips when searching for the perfect apartment
or house:
- Carefully review all housing options.
- Look around the neighborhood to determine the level of security
and safety. (see Area
Map). Area Map is formatted in an Acrobat Reader Program with
the courtesy of University City District.
- Be sure you understand all charges and restrictions.
- Find out who is responsible for payment of utilities such as
gas, electric, heat, and water.
- Review the minimum termination date of a lease.
- Always read the lease carefully, as it is a legal document.
- Check the house or apartment for fire code and other safety
violations.
