University Housing and Residence Halls
Western offers on-campus housing in residence halls. The modern residence halls provide a variety of living arrangements including traditional residence hall rooms for two students, apartment style units housing up to four students, and townhouses for students who are married or have children.
The University Housing and Campus Dining website has information about the on campus residence halls, costs, options for families, housing applications and meal plans.

Residence Hall Information in Chinese: 西俄勒冈大学宿舍信息
For students wishing to live off-campus, there are a number of apartments and living arrangements available in the community. These accommodations are privately owned and arrangements must be made individually. Costs range from around $250 to $600 per month.
WOU Housing Forum
This forum is where Western students post that they are looking for a roommate or have a room for rent. This website is safe since only people with a WOU account can use it.

Www.Craigslist.Org
Navigate to: United States-Oregon-Salem-Housing
Craigslist is a great website used for finding housing, selling items, or finding activities. However, it has many scams (people will try and get your money or lie to you) and can be dangerous so please use caution when contacting someone. In housing, it is a good idea to exchange e-mails with the person you are interested in housing with to see what their lifestyle, or personality is like. Never give your credit card or bank information to someone over the internet.
Apartment Manager List and Real Estate Agent
The Off Campus Housing Referral document lists local apartment’s managers and companies that have listings of houses or apartments for rent. This is a good option if you have a roommate that you want to rent with or if you know you will be staying the entire calendar year (leases are usually for 12 months).
