Where students live
The rare exceptions rent scattered houses in Sewanee village, Monteagle (~6 mi), or down the mountain in Winchester and Cowan.
There is no student apartment market on the Domain — no complexes to list. If you're one of the few exempt students (married, older, or local), rentals are found through word of mouth and small local listings, and they're almost always unfurnished houses. The unfurnished checklist below is the one you want.
What you'll need
Most rentals here are unfurnished — budget for the big anchors: mattress, bed frame, sofa, and a table.
