Tips to Save on Off-Campus Housing for ASU Students

Introduction

ASU’s massive student population means housing in Tempe fills fast. With some planning and flexibility, Sun Devils can save money while living comfortably off-campus.

1. Share Housing in Tempe

Splitting apartments or houses with roommates cuts rent significantly.

2. Explore Mesa or Phoenix

These areas are more affordable and connected by light rail to ASU.

3. Use Public Transit

The light rail and buses make commuting cheaper than driving and parking.

4. Watch for Subleases

With so many students, sublease opportunities are common and affordable.

5. Start Early (June–July)

By August, most affordable Tempe rentals are already full.

Conclusion

ASU students can save by living with roommates, exploring nearby cities, and searching in early summer.
