Welcome! The Office of Housing Resources (OHR) is here to help all students at the BUMC find a place to live in the Boston area. We are here to walk you through the entire housing search process – from picking a neighborhood to signing a lease, and beyond.
The OHR's services are free of charge, and include information about Boston and the surrounding towns; a listing service of independent landlords who are interested in renting to BU Medical Campus students, two summer housing fairs each year, a password-protected roommate-matching system, and personalized search assistance for all students. For students with questions beyond the OHR's expertise, we can refer students to another agency or organization that can help resolve the issue.
Students are welcome to call or email the OHR with questions; our contact information is located along the sidebar to the right of the page. Students are also welcome to stop by the office if they'd like - we're open from 8:30-5, Monday through Friday. Students with particular questions might like to set up an appointment to make sure Dave is in the office when they come by.
How to Use this Website
Think of this website as a process, with the most basic information about Boston and the rental market here being at the top-left side of the page. As you move through the links down the page, the resources generally get more specific and focused. The Boston Neighborhoods section is the first stop to go to get an idea of what living in Boston is like. The Search for Housing tab will be the best spot to get started on finding actual apartments in the city. The Finding a Roommate tab is the place to check to find other students to share an apartment with and keep costs low. The Getting and Reviewing Your Lease tab offers guidance on actually securing an apartment and learning about tenants' rights.
*NEW*: The OHR now has an instant-message screen-name: OHRatBU.
