The University of Texas at San Antonio partners with College Pads to provide an off-campus housing marketplace for students and community members.
College Pads gives students an educational tool to help them become more educated renters, compare off-campus housing options, find potential roommates and sublet their existing units, when applicable.
Housing opportunities on College Pads are located a short distance from the Main and Downtown academic campuses and the health campus. If you are a housing provider and are interested in listing your community as an option for the UT San Antonio community, you can submit your housing opportunity on college pads.
Tip for First-Time Renters
If you are considering moving into a house, make sure you are aware of all applicable zoning laws and homeowner's association requirements and abide by all of them. If you choose a house or apartment to rent, please note that you may have many neighbors with full-time jobs, families and small children so remain cognizant of how your actions may affect others.
