How to Find a Roommate

Find Summer Housing

While Princeton University does not vet nor endorse summer housing options, students often benefit from connecting with one another during their housing search. Students searching for roommates can use their residential college listserv or Hoagie Mail.

For information about summer housing at Princeton, check the Housing and Real Estate Services page.  

For summer housing in locations outside of Princeton, students often find summer dormitory housing offered by other colleges, apartment subletting, short-term leases and other rental agreements. Whenever vetting a housing option, please consider the following:

  • Proximity to work, groceries, laundry, etc.
  • Parking/public transportation options
  • Furnishing options
  • Security/safety
  • Rental insurance and deposit terms
  • Occupancy restrictions 
  • Cost of living
