About Off-Campus Housing Near Washington University in St Louis
Washington University in St. Louis enrolls roughly 15,400 students on its Danforth Campus, a Gothic stretch of arches and quads anchored by Brookings Hall on the western edge of the city. The campus sits right on Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country, where students run, bike the Centennial Greenway, and wander to free museums and the zoo. Just north, the Delmar Loop is the walkable district everyone gravitates toward. Spring brings WILD, the long-running outdoor concert that's been a campus staple since the 1970s, and fall fills Francis Olympic Field, the stadium that hosted the 1904 Olympics. The MetroLink light rail has a stop on campus, so getting around the metro area is easy without a car.
Washington University in St Louis Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
WashU requires all first-year undergraduates to live on campus, with most students spending their first two years in the residential communities on the South 40 before moving off. Plan on the South 40 for those early years.
Off-Campus Eligibility
After the on-campus years, students at WashU center their search on University City and the Skinker DeBaliviere area, where older apartment buildings and student-friendly houses dominate, plus newer complexes closer to the Loop. The process runs through private landlords and a few management companies: an application, proof of income or a guarantor, and first month plus a deposit.
Lease Timing
Leases usually run a full twelve months, commonly starting August 1 to line up with the fall semester. University City has its own occupancy and rental licensing rules, so a group splitting a house should confirm the unit is licensed and legal for their headcount. Older buildings near the Loop can mean window units and street parking, so check air conditioning, laundry, and repairs.
