Housing
Does CMU have on-campus housing for graduate students?
CMU does not currently offer on-campus housing to Graduate Students. If this is something you would like to see CMU provide in the future, submit your story HERE so GSA can better advocate for services that directly affect our community.
How do I find an off-campus apartment?
Check out the listings on the CMU Off Campus Housing website (instructions for use HERE). For more expansive lists, you can use online apartment rental search services (such as apartments.com , realtor.com , zillow.com , or many more). Additionally Craig's List in Pittsburgh has lots of listings for apartment rentals. For anywhere you find your apartment, be sure to know your rights before you sign a lease. You can find more information about how to safely rent an apartment in Pittsburgh HERE.
I am looking for a flatmate/roommate, can CMU help me find one?
Sure! Go HERE and click on "Roommates". You will need to make an account to use this page (not just your AndrewID log in) and can connect with other CMU students looking for a roommate.
I am having issues with my landlord. Is there anywhere I can go to get help?
