Housing Alert
Please give yourself ample time — about four to six weeks — to search for off-campus housing. Browse this resource to start your search and learn about other off-campus housing information sources. Remember, persistence and patience are both key when seeking off-campus housing.
The University of San Diego has a two-year residency requirement. Please visit the Transfer Student Housing and Second Year Housing webpages for more information.
To aide you in finding potential roommates, USD has created a Fall 2025 Roommate Finder Form for you to fill out. This form is only for the start of the Fall semester, as Residential Life expects to offer housing to undergraduate residents that apply for housing for the Fall semester. Visit their website for more information. Within 2-3 business days of submitting the form, you will be given access to the response that other students have submitted to the form. Please note that it is your responsibility to read these responses and contact other students. USD facilitates the information gathering process, but does not facilitate the actual matching and contacting processes.
Graduate Student Life has resources that can also help undergraduate students moving to San Diego or students looking for off-campus housing. Two of our most popular resources are the Off-campus Housing Facebook page where they list housing options. You can find additional information on the Off-campus Housing page. The Off-campus Housing Guide is useful for students getting starting with their housing search in San Diego.
Please note that the housing information on this webpage is only meant to be an informational tool, as the University of San Diego does not endorse any off-campus apartments exclusively.
