If you are going on co-op during the spring semester and need a dorm contract for the following fall, be sure to request a contract for the following year. The Co-op Office has no authority in private apartment matters. Upon acceptance of a co-op position, it is your responsibility to sublet your apartment. Post on Bulletin Boards at Commonwealth Campuses Housing Information for Your Co-op Assignment Employer assistance varies widely. Some companies may supply housing or provide housing stipends or partial financial assistance, but most often you will be responsible for finding and paying for your housing.
Most employers are very helpful with housing information, so be sure to ask for information.
Approach your housing search as a practice run for your future housing searches when you obtain full-time employment. We can also provide you with the names and telephone numbers of other students who have lived and completed work assignments in the area. While the Co-op Office can help facilitate the process by providing information, we are not responsible for your housing arrangements or choice of roommates.
