Summary

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I walk you through exactly how to secure affordable graduate school housing. I share when you should start searching and why it’s earlier than you may think. I also outline three main housing options to compare from and offer strategies like asking current grad students about options and searching for university-affiliated rental lists. I emphasize the importance of comparing your options and reviewing lease details closely to ensure you get the best housing option to meet your needs.
