Housing Information

The Office of Admissions has a variety of resources available to incoming students in order to support students and to help ease their transition to the Washington, D.C. area. The resources include information about searching online for housing in the Washington, D.C. metro area; a list of things to do before you move; the Roommate Name Exchange Request Form; and they address many other additional questions and concerns that students often have when moving to the area. There is a list of apartments to help students start their housing search and maps of the metro stations near where they are located.

The forms are available in the Office of Admissions, Room 340 of the law school building, weekdays from 9:00am to 5:00pm. We have also placed these resources online for your convenience. Please remember that these resources are here to serve only as a guide for you. We strongly recommend that you seriously research an apartment or house before signing a lease and that you visit the area around the property at least once during the day and at night to get a feel of the neighborhood.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding housing for during the academic year, please contact the Student Housing Coordinator in the Office of Admissions.
