FOR MOST STUDENTS, LIVING ON CAMPUS IS A TIME OF MEETING NEW CHALLENGES AND FINDING A NEW

SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE. BY BECOMING PART OF THIS OPEN AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY, STUDENTS

ARE REWARDED WITH NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND EXPERIENCES THAT WILL STAY WITH THEM FOR YEARS TO

of their time at Saint Rose.

While the base cost of living in an off-campus apartment may

seem less expensive than if you were to live on campus, often

the extra costs aren’t always considered. When making your

decision to live on or off campus, we want you to think about

the value and convenience you are getting for your dollar. No

worries about your utility bill or shoveling your sidewalk!
