Mission

The Off-Campus Living Office's mission is to coordinate services, education, events and resources for students living off-campus.

Goals

• Transition Programs: Prepare students for living independently off-campus in the Athens community with emphasis placed on how to be responsible citizens.
  
• Citizenship: Educate students on personal responsibility and foster active community involvement with an emphasis placed on community service.
• Partnerships: Create relationships between students and community through service, education, and participation. This includes establishing relationships with city officials and the neighborhood associations.
  
• Student Development: Encourage student development and involvement by providing the support to become a successful community member who is capable of navigating the responsibilities of living in the community.
• Advocacy: Inform students of their rights and responsibilities as members of the community and refer students to appropriate resources when their rights have been violated.
• Health and Safety: Promote off campus living conditions that meet high quality standards while encouraging students to live safely and make healthy choices.

Services

The Office of Off-Campus Living provides a variety of services to both students who are already living off-campus and those who are preparing to move off-campus. These services include serving as a resource to off-campus students, proving rental listings for the Athens area, and proving programming and educational opportunities for both on-campus and off-campus students.
