[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to original question. When did you start looking for off campus housing for your freshman for sophomore year if on campus housing was not available. [/quote]

My son is at VT. They definitely start hearing about the push for 2nd year housing almost as soon as they arrive on campus. However, we attended a talk about off-campus housing during October parents weekend where the staff told people they absolutely did not need to commit so quickly. DS ended up finding a spot in the apartment community he wanted and signed the lease right after winter break. I'm in the college's parent facebook group and saw plenty of people needing an additional roommate late in the school year.

If you absolutely want to live with a specific group of people and want an apartment very close to campus, then you probably need to be prepared to commit in Fall semester. But could also end up being one of those roommate groups looking to fill a spot when one of the people backs out since your BFFs the first month of college may not be your BFFs by the end of the year.[/quote]
