Rochester Institute of Technology Off-Campus Housing Guide (2026)

RIT houses first-years on campus, and RIT-run apartments absorb many upperclassmen — the private market rings the campus perimeter.

Where students live

The John St / Jefferson Rd (Henrietta) campus perimeter is the zone; there's no walkable college main street.

Two American Campus properties sit at the campus edge with per-bed rates in the high $700s; conventional Henrietta complexes like Rustic Village fill the rest.
