About Student Housing in Philomath
Philomath is a small city directly west of Corvallis, functioning as affordable overflow housing for Oregon State University students who get priced out of Corvallis or want a quieter setting. CTS buses connect Philomath to OSU with free service for city residents. Rents are lower than Corvallis, and the housing stock mixes older apartments with some newer single-family rentals. Students here are primarily budget-focused and accept a slightly longer commute in exchange for lower costs.
