Off-Campus Housing
Off-Campus Housing
Some students find that renting a furnished apartment in Cairo is more cost effective for their budget and allows a more independent lifestyle. If you choose to not live in university housing, then you have the challenge of finding a flat in Cairo, dealing with the landlord and negotiating a fair rental agreement. ISSO keeps a list of flats recommended by previous students. You can obtain this list upon request at
isso@aucegypt.edu
. Some landlords and students seeking roommates post notices on stamped blue forms posted on the bulletin boards around campus. Another excellent resource for seeking safe, affordable off-campus housing is the
Cairo Scholars Listserv
. This listserv is a monitored list of expat students and scholars living, working or studying in Cairo. The listserv allows members to share information to help find housing, work and other valuable expat knowledge.
Another resource can be tapped by sending an email to Raya of your housing needs and budget to
rentalsinternational@gmail.com
. Raya is a recent AUC Alum and a licensed real estate agent in California. She currently resides in Cairo and is opening her own business as a referral service, alumni, for clients seeking accommodations in the New Cairo district through a network of several real estate brokers. Kindly note that the '
rentalsinternational'
apartments are unisex and alcohol free.
