Clark University Reviews and Ratings

• I chose to stay off campus in a shared apartment. I used to jump off campus and secure accommodation a month before moving there.
• I did not really face many issues with finding one. It fit my budget and what i was looking for.
• My apartment was right across campus. a minute walk away. The only concern was safety, as it was right on main st, but as most people around me were college kids, it did not really effect much

• From apartments.com, zillow.com and Clark University's internal website to help international students find accommodation within the area in close proximity to the college.
• My monthly rent was $525, which included a room with a bed and study table, a closet and a bathroom. Utilities were different. Around 30-50$ a month per head.
• There was only one challenge. You have to pay 1st month rent, last month rent and a security deposit of one month all in advance. So the overall house rent was 2100$ as we 4 people stayed in paying 525$ each. Arranging the initial cash was the challenge.
• Everything is an experience. Experiences can vary. My only recommendation would be, if possible, carry extra cash but with caution, as cash can be useful in these situations.
• College from my accommodation was hardly 0.5 miles. It was pretty near, as I chose to find something close to campus, as I know it snowed a lot and walking in the snow is another experience. Most of the Indian students stay in shared accommodation only.

• I opted for off-campus housing. I found this accommodation through the website provided by the university.
• Monthly rent is $600, which includes electricity and washing service.
• The challenge was to finalise the accommodation online and through video calls with owners, which required me to blindly trust that person.
• There are many places that get vacated every semester because people graduate and they're available all the time.
• My accommodation is 200 m from the university. And most of the Indian students stay off campus because it's cheaper compared to on-campus housing.

• I opted for Off- Campus accommodation, as On campus is a bit on the pricey side, I found my accommodation by joining the University’s off-campus WhatsApp group, the link is mentioned in the university website.
• Monthly rent for a private room varies from 600-1000$ excluding utilities, mine was a shared 2 bed 1 bath apartment between four people excluding utilities. My apartment is just 2 minutes walk from the university.
   

• Via Zillow, you will get most of the accommodation. Once you are a part of this university, they will put you in an official WhatsApp group where the officials and campus ambassadors will assist you.
• TIP: read the lease and understand the laws and regulations, keep your options open, and stay with people with whom you feel better, which you will figure out while connecting.
