About Off-Campus Housing Near University of Miami
The University of Miami sits in Coral Gables, where about 17,800 Hurricanes go to school under palm trees and year-round sun. Coral Gables is a polished, walkable city of Mediterranean-style buildings, and campus wraps around Lake Osceola, so you'll see students kayaking between classes. The surrounding neighborhoods stretch from leafy Coral Gables into artsy Coconut Grove and high-rise Brickell, with Wynwood's murals a quick trip north. Green space is everywhere: Matheson Hammock Park opens onto Biscayne Bay, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is right next door. Hurricanes football brings the U its loudest weekends, and the free Coral Gables Trolley plus the Metrorail's University station mean you don't need a car to live the Miami life.
University of Miami Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Miami requires non-local first-year students to live in university housing for their first two semesters, space permitting. The big exemption: if you live with a parent or legal guardian in Miami-Dade or Broward County, you are off the hook, and you will file that request through the Housing Portal on CaneLink. Students out of high school more than a year can also be waived, and spring-admitted first-years are not required to live on campus at all.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Once that first year wraps, most Hurricanes move into Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, or South Miami. The local rental process is straightforward but competitive, so landlords will run credit and income checks, and a lot of younger students need a guarantor or a parent co-signer. Newer by-the-bed complexes hold inventory later than independent landlords, making them a useful option for flexible renters.
