- Go through our "Get Started" guide!
Things to Consider - Distance from campus/co-op?

Resolution #2: Get Healthy
Colds, fevers, and illness are common in the winter. Prepare now for the unforgiving weather Boston can bring.
Get your flu shot!
Set up an appointment with UHCS to avoid the hassle of a stomach bug later.
Chill!
 Our immune system doesn't function well when stressed, and believe it or not, 'Ben and Jerry's' therapy isn't the answer. Chill out at least twice a week; head to the movies, build a snowman, or just breathe deeply! Don't forget your feet! Heavy shoes, boots, and socks can take their toll on our feet. Moisturize your feet daily to avoid cracked winter skin and wear socks with synthetic fibers to wick away moisture. Wet your whistle! You may not feel thirsty in cold weather, but dehydration can leave you prone to illness. Water carries nutrients to cells, and gets rid of toxins. Doctors recommend you drink half your weight in ounces everyday. (If you weigh 120lbs, drink 60 oz) Change your toothbrush! Probably the easiest- use a new toothbrush after a cold, the flu, or sore throat. Germs can hide in the toothbrush and lead to reinfection! |
Dinner & Discussion
Join us January 15 at 6:30pm for an engaging talk with Professor Katherine Tucker about the keys to maintaining a healthy weight in the new year! Enjoy a free dinner and the company of fellow off campus students. Click the poster to sign up! |

Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts, especially ones that contain personal information.
Shred bills and statements connected to
accounts accessible online.

Rent Increases Anticipated
Is your landlord raising the rent next year? You're not alone! From what we've heard, Boston's low vacancy rate will cause rent increases next year. When your landlord asks if you plan to renew, he/she should inform you of any rent increases. Consider the increase in rent as you decide whether to renew or move on.
|

Open House!
New and returning off campus students are invited to attend our Spring Open House on January 10 from 3:30 to 5:30pm. Enjoy cookies and hot chocolate, meet our Community Ambassadors and we can help you with any questions about off-campus living.

Ask Roaming Husky
Dear Roaming Husky,
My landlord has told me that I must decide whether or not I will renew my lease for next year by January 15! He also plans to raise the rent by $200. Can he do this?
-Rushed
Dear Rushed,
While your lease is still good for another 8 months, you have no right to the apartment after that time, and the amount of rent is entirely up to the landlord. Tenants must inform the landlord of their intent to renew or move on & most landlords want an answer by February so they can show the apartment. Ask for additional time if it will help you come to a clearer decision. Don't forget to consider rent increases across Boston before deciding to move on!
-Your Roaming Husky
