Students:

At UMKC, students are not required to live on campus although we recommend you make housing reservations before coming to Kansas City. Numerous off-campus housing opportunities are available that are located near the campus. Rented rooms and apartments (usually unfurnished) are available in a variety of price ranges.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City offers an off-campus housing platform that helps students find housing, roommates, and sublets near campus. Browse our list of resources and click on the active housing list for the most complete list of off-campus housing near UMKC.

International Students:

Are you an international student moving to Kansas City? Do you have questions about immigration, finances, and living in the U.S.? Check out the International Student Affairs Office (ISAO) website for additional information.
