  • Roxbury Brookline Village South End
    ROXBURY ALLSTON KENMORE SQUARE BROOKLINE VILLAGE SOUTH END BRIGHTON COOLIDGE CORNER DORCHESTER MATTAPAN JAMAICA PLAIN Introduction Dear Gators, Pine Manor College is dedicated to providing students with the necessary information and tools to success- fully reside in off-campus accommodations. In supporting our students in the off-campus environment, the Office of Residence Life has developed an Off-Campus Living Guide. This Off-Campus Living Guide outlines the steps and resources to help you have a good off campus living experience. Utilize this guide to answer your off-campus housing questions, learn about the City of Boston resources, and understand your rights and responsibilities as an off-campus resident. We recognize there are some strategies you can use to be successful in your experience living off campus, so we have provided some tangible checklists and forms to use as you create your own unique off campus living experience. You will find that living off-campus is a very different kind of experience from living in a college residence hall. Unlike the residence halls, the neighborhoods surrounding Boston are full of people whose lifestyles, schedules, and living arrangements may vary greatly from yours. We want students to be successful and thrive in their off-campus living situation. We hope that this guide will serve as a resource for you and helps you to build the skills and knowledge to be a good renter, roommate, neighbor, and community member. Office of Residence Life Disclaimer: This guide is intended for general informational purposes only. Pine Manor College does not recommend or endorse any landlords, tenants, rental facilities or companies in any way.
