Off-Campus Housing

Places4Students

With 4,700 students enrolled at Penn State Behrend and nearly 1,900 living on-campus, there is a strong need to provide our college community with off-campus​ housing alternatives. Note: For students with a current on-campus contract, it is strongly encouraged to first request a release from this contract before signing a lease with an off-campus landlord.

Off Campus Housing

Penn State Behrend has partnered with Places4Students.com, a FREE service that assists students with their search for off-campus housing accommodations, finding roommates, and posting student sublets. Property owners, rental agents and non-members of the college community are also invited to post their rental vacancies on Places4Students.com for a fee.
