In this event, you should presume you have not been assigned to University housing, and you should plan to arrive in Rochester one to two weeks prior to the start of your academic program to find private housing.

Be sure to bring enough money to pay for temporary housing and meals from the time of your arrival until you obtain permanent housing. In addition, you must bring money for the first month’s rent and security deposit for permanent housing.
