Newspapers: The Ithaca Journal is a daily publication which lists rooms, apartments, and houses for rent in its classified section. The Ithaca Times, The Ithacan and the Ithaca Pennysaver are weekly publications which have classified ads that often contain apartment listings or people looking for roommates. The Ithaca Journal can be purchased locally anywhere that newspapers are sold. The Ithaca Times and The Ithacan are free and are typically available in the lobby of Egbert Hall. The Ithaca Pennysaver is distributed by mail with copies available in a variety of campus locations.
Cornell University maintains a searchable Off-campus Housing Listing Service.¹
Word of Mouth is another good source. Students living off campus have a good idea of what is available in their residence or in the area. They may also be able to refer you to their landlord or other landlords who might have available places in the area.
