Valencia College - East Campus

Valencia College is a primarily a commuter school, however our Downtown Campus offers student housing opportunities. There are plenty of student housing options around each of our campuses as well. We hold annual housing fairs on campus and provide rental information and roommate listings through the Student Development office.

COST

In general, the amount you spend for housing should be limited to one-fourth or one-third of the total amount you have planned to spend on living expenses. If the cost is one-half of your budget or more, you may be spending too much. Housing costs include:

Down payment

Monthly rent

Utilities

Electric

Water

TV/Internet/phone

ROOMMATES

Having a roommate (or roommates) is a great way to save money on rent. Plus, it gives you someone to share the college experience with. Just keep a few things in mind when choosing someone to live with:

Don't meet up with potential roommates by yourself-bring a friend and meet in a public place.

Choose a roommate who has similar living habits as you. Before moving in together, discuss what you expect out of each other.

Avoid money issues-ask your landlord if you and your roommate can have separate leases.
