Student Life: Living Off-Campus

While we guarantee University-sponsored housing to our incoming first-year students and first-year transfer students, many upperclassmen choose to live in Boston's historic and vibrant neighborhoods. Choosing to live off campus can be exciting and a little intimidating. Finding an apartment doesn't have to be difficult but it does require planning.

We are pleased to announce a partnership with Off Campus Partners, which provides a portal for the MCPHS community to search and list off-campus housing opportunities.

Using their university credentials, MCPHS students, faculty, and staff can use this website to:

The Office of Residence Life also provides a series of Off-Campus Housing workshops throughout the academic year. Workshops provide resources on “how to” apartment search, budget, and much more.


Expert Resources

Experts in the Office of Student Affairs are available to answer your questions about how to find an apartment, how to get to campus from your off-campus housing, and provide important information about tenant and landlord rights and responsibilities. Students are also provided valuable materials and information at the end of their first year.

Student Handbook

Students are the center of our Community. The MCPHS Student Handbook is designed to enhance and guide students' educational and co-curricular experiences at the University. It is updated every year with essential information, resources, policies, and procedures that are important to student life.
The MCPHS Student Handbook also outlines the variety of services, programs, and activities the University offers to support student academic success while fully engaging with the Community. Participating in these programs and services will not only enhance students' personal education and career preparation, but also enrich the overall quality of the MCPHS Community.
