Assiniboine partners with Places4Students.com to Provide Off-Campus Housing Solutions

Assiniboine Community College and its Students’ Association (ACCSA) have partnered with Places4Students.com, a company that specializes in providing academic institutions with off-campus housing solutions. Places4Students.com is introducing a new and improved rental property listing service for students, landlords and affiliates of the college’s community.

“This is a great platform that can help ease the transition for incoming students,” said Matthew May, Executive Director of ACCSA. “We are here to serve students and having a suitable place to live is a necessary part of a positive college experience.”

The college and Students’ Association wanted to offer students an established online directory to search for suitable housing accommodations, find roommates and post sublets.

“Many students come to college from out of town or have had a recent change in their living situation,” said Kris Desjarlais, Director of Indigenous Affairs at Assiniboine. “We don’t want these individuals to see this as a major barrier to coming to college, so providing a central location to find accommodations can hopefully reduce some of that barrier.”

Places4Students.com simplifies the process for students to search for off-campus housing accommodations near the college with a user-friendly website and mobile app. Landlords and property managers can advertise their rental vacancies directly to students free of charge.

To access the Places4Students.com database specifically for Assiniboine, students can visit assiniboine.net/housing. Landlords and property managers can post their listings by registering an account at places4students.com/Landlord/Register.
