Notices about apartments and other available housing in the general area are posted. Many are located in the Mission Hill and Fenway neighborhoods, within walking distance of the Longwood campus. Private bathrooms are occasionally available. There are no accommodations for couples. Due to lack of time or for other reasons, some students prefer to enlist the services of real estate agencies to assist them with their search for housing.
Most agencies charge a fee of one month's rent.
If you choose to use a real estate agent, be aware of all of the agency's rental guidelines and fees. You will have better results if you know what type of accommodation you are seeking as well as neighborhoods you prefer and how much rent you can afford to pay. Real estate agencies can be found in the Yellow Pages or on the World Wide Web. All Rights Reserved.
