If you are not offered on-campus housing right away, a good option may be to consider private temporary housing. One of the benefits of living in a large city is that good temporary apartment options are available.

Getting temporary housing instead of signing a lease allows you to remain on the wait list for on-campus housing into the school year, rather than having to sign a lease and deciding to live off campus for the entire year.
