Student Housing in Omaha, NE
About Student Housing in Omaha
Omaha, NE is Nebraska's largest city, a Missouri River town with a surprising amount going on and the home base of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. UNO sits on the midtown-west side, and its students scatter across some of Omaha's most characterful neighborhoods. Aksarben Village, a walkable mixed-use district by campus, draws students who want shops and events at the doorstep, while nearby Dundee and Benson offer vintage charm and local arts. Downtown's Old Market, with its brick streets and galleries, anchors the nightlife and civic festivals, and riverfront parks tie it all to the water. The Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium ranks among the country's best, and the College World Series brings the baseball world to town each summer.
