Where students live
A few amenity-heavy per-bedroom complexes sit on the edges of town, with a large stock of cheap conventional 2BR apartments and houses from local landlords (Greenbriar, Newlove, Mecca) downtown and near campus.
Students famously camp outside Greenbriar's office when leasing opens. BGSU's Off-Campus Student Services page is the official hub.
