Where students live
Single-family houses rented from local landlords along the Whitney Ave corridor and Mount Carmel in Hamden, plus some seniors in New Haven.
There's no purpose-built private student housing. QU itself offers off-campus options — Whitney Village and university-owned houses, billed through QU housing — and conventional Hamden complexes absorb the rest.
