Guide to Living Off Campus & Housing Listings

Wondering about lease signing and budgeting? How about local utilities? And, when is your landlord required, by law, to return your security deposit, and under what circumstances? We have resources here to help you in your off-campus housing journey.

But finding and setting up the right place is only part of it; what about living with the right people? We also have ideas for getting to know your roommate, as well as strategies for effective communication and resolving conflict!

Housing Listings:

There are two Biola places to search for and post ads for off-campus (non-Biola-owned) housing.

Biola Classifieds

• Internal Housing Listings—posted and viewable by students, staff, alums, and faculty
  • Great place for roommate ads!
  • FYI, the university has not inspected, approved, or disapproved housing or other information provided and does not accept responsibility for listings.
• Biola NetID needed to log in.
