Housing in Seattle can be a little tricky! Our graduate students have produced a housing guide that details what you can expect and offers great advice! You should read it. It is the most exhaustive resource available to you, specifically catered to your needs as a graduate student.
How do you find housing?
- Zillow (you can geofence your search and setup email notifications)
- Craigslist
- Padmapper
- UW Housing, Sublets, and Roommates group on Facebook
- The Daily Classifieds
- The #housing channel on the CSE slack (once you get your CSE account in May)
- Graduate Student Apartments operated by HFS (Rates) (Grad Housing)
- Other CSE students! Sometimes the best housing is handed down to CSE students as folks graduate.
If you elect for University housing, HFS may ask for a letter that indicates you're starting our graduate program. Just email us at grad-advising@cs.washingotn.edu and let us know! You will find your student number on the status page of your on-line application
You will also be contacted by an Allen School grad student mentor who will be another great resource for housing-related questions!
