On-Campus Living

If it’s your first time renting an apartment as a student, we know it can be both intimidating and confusing. Every property manager seems to have their own rules. But, at the end of the day, your opinion is what matters most! Renting an apartment is your decision to make and the team here at First Site is here to help you along the way!
 
Living on campus in an apartment instead of the dorms can save you thousands of dollars and gives you more freedom in your diet, budgeting, and activity.

"Love living in the nicest building in Uptown!

The helpfulness of First Site staff was a large factor for deciding to stay for a 2nd year! They are really helpful, attentive and friendly. Everything was explained clearly.

Our Apartment is across the street from Pub 2, next to Maggies... Great location!"
