Electronic Listings/Average Rents

Housing Outreach Services maintains an electronic database of off-campus housing listings for the categories described below. Students may check these listings at the Housing Outreach Services Office by providing a Student ID card, a letter of acceptance to UCI, or a valid UCI Alumni Association card or a UCI staff/faculty ID. Using the listing service in our office is free, and students who are out of the area may purchase a set of personalized listings (based on their housing preferences) for $15. However, if possible, we recommend that you come into our office to look at the most updated listings.
