California State University, Chico Parent Guide
Living Off Campus
Some students at Chico State choose to live off campus after their first year, although with Sutter Residence Hall and University Village, the campus offers wonderful options for continuing residence. With 80 percent of students living within two miles of campus, there are plenty of off-campus housing options available, including houses, duplexes, and apartments.
Students should begin looking for off-campus housing during the second semester of their first year, usually between January and March. Most local property managers place listing information in local newspapers or in fliers around campus. The prices of living off campus will vary depending on where students choose to live. The closer to campus, the more expensive rent will be.
The costs of groceries, utilities, phone, cable, and Internet access will also need to be factored in. Rental housing prices within the community are relatively low compared to costs in other college towns.
