Housing & Transportation

• These days, people's first stop is Craigslist, which remains a most effective tool for discovering good rental deals.  In addition to standard apartment complexes and condos, it's not uncommon for 2 or 3 students to get together to rent a small house or bungalow.  There are many options like this available around town.

• We recommend cross-referencing Craiglist with the neighborhood descriptions listed further down the page on www.utstudent.com to get a sense of where to begin.  Most students live in these areas because of their proximity to campus and/or transportation options.

• Here are a couple other sources which may be useful:  UT Off-Campus Housing and one (of many) apartment locaters.

• UT shuttles are free.  Bus routes can be reviewed here though the university's Parking & Transportation page.

• Capitol Metro is the name of Austin's public transportation system.  The buses are also free to UT students with presentation of your student ID.
