Graduate-Professional Students

Nearly 85% of Cornell's graduate students live off campus.  Ithaca provides a variety of  housing options. However, no matter how many options there are, the Off Campus Housing Office encourages you to carefully assess your expected needs.  The OCHO developed materials to help you focus on identifying what your needs may be and how to seek housing that will satisfy your needs. 

With this in mind, the OCHO provides assistance with seeking and securing a comfortable living situation. You can find alot of information on our website, including housing selection checklists, a moving in/out checklist, lease education, housemate selection process, sample housemate agreement, transportation/parking links, important health and safety information, and access to information about the City of Ithaca.

However, before you begin, you will need to determine whether On or Off Campus living will best suit your needs. When considering On Campus housing be sure to keep in mind that there are a limited number of units available, and they fill up quickly. 15% of graduate students live on campus, currently.
