OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
As with most community colleges in California, Glendale Community
College does not provide on-campus housing or dormitory facilities for
its students. The International Student Office cannot act as a "real
estate agent" for off-campus apartments and the signing of rental and
leasing contracts. Students can find a variety of off-campus apartments
and housing for rent in the local area. Currently, a one-bedroom
apartment or "studio" apartment in the surrounding Glendale area will
rent from approximately $800 to $1,000+ per month. Note that costs will
vary depending on size and other amenities and accommodations. Most
apartments do not come furnished and will require a "security deposit"
of some amount.
For further apartment references, please refer to the Web site listings
below:
