The Greater Lafayette area and Indianapolis boast a low&nbsp;<a href=\"\/academics\/ogsps\/admissions\/admitted-students\/cost-of-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost of living<\/a>. This makes finding housing on a graduate stipend\/paycheck easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lease Cycles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Many apartments in the Greater Lafayette and Indianapolis areas require that leases be signed 6+ months in advance of your move-in date. So, if your move-in date is in August, you may need to sign your lease in March (or sooner) to secure housing on time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must verify that your move-in date is before the date that you arrive on campus. Many graduate programs require that you attend orientation (up to a week) before the first day of classes. Some leases do not start until the end of August.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For example, if you have orientation on August 16<sup>th<\/sup>, but your lease doesn\u2019t start until August 28<sup>th<\/sup>, you will either need to secure temporary housing until your lease begins or find an apartment that can accommodate your required move-in date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On-Campus Housing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purdue in Indianapolis has partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housing.purdue.edu\/my-housing\/indy\/options\/apartments\/lux.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LUX on Capitol<\/a> to provide apartment-style housing for students, including graduate students, with amenities such as a fitness center, private study lounges, and a pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Off-Campus Housing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many off-campus housing options available to graduate students in the Greater Lafayette area and Indianapolis. &nbsp;Lafayette is directly across the Wabash River from West Lafayette.
