Housing

On-Campus Dormitories

The Study Abroad Office automatically secures on-campus housing for you as a back-up, but if you want to live in on-campus housing you must complete the online housing application and confirm your housing selection on that form. Upon arrival you will need to sign your housing contract.

Please note that there are certain policies that students are required to abide by if they are living on-campus. Please check with the Housing Office and your RA (Resident Assistant) if you have questions about any policies.

Off-Campus Housing

There are many other off-campus housing options also available to students. Information about the different apartment communities can be found online prior to arrival or in the Oxford Eagle (the city’s local newspaper) or the Daily Mississippian (the campus newspaper). There are also several printed apartment guides available upon arrival in Oxford.

If you choose this housing option you must arrange accommodations on your own. Please remember that some apartments are not within walking distance of campus. Several off-campus apartments that are fully furnished and have been selected by exchange students in the past are noted below. Please contact the apartment manager directly for information about prices and policies. You should mention that you are an exchange student from the Study Abroad Office at the University of Mississippi.

Please also note that most apartments in Oxford are leased for a full year or 6 months.

No matter where you choose to live off campus, be sure to request a written lease from your landlord including:

• a description of property and total number of people allowed to live in the property;
• specific occupancy dates;
• subletting allowance;
• deposit requirements;
• monthly rent amount and due date;
• how utilities are handled;
• and responsibility of maintenance repairs.
