We realize that living on campus may not be the best option for all students. The Off Campus Housing Listing Service is UNO’s officially recommended and sponsored service for finding listings for area housing options for UNO students, faculty, and staff.
We strongly encourage students to investigate apartment complexes before signing a lease commitment. UNO does not inspect or offer any guarantee for the condition or quality of the rental units listed and does not endorse any of the listed properties. Students should never transfer or wire money.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to assist you with your housing needs.
