Off Campus

• Home and rental costs in Socorro have increased in recent years, but remain well below those in major metropolitan areas around the country.  There have been years when the rental market was saturated, however, rentals are typically available.  Of course the best 'deals' never show up on the market, but are passed by word of mouth from student to student.

• The NMT Residential Life Office maintains a listing of off campus rentals at http://externalweb.nmt.edu/reslife/offcampus/offcampuslist.asp.  It comes with the usual disclaimers about NMT not endorsing these properties.  A primary use for this list is to give an idea of what types of housing are on the market and how much they cost.
