For providing additional convenience to students who are desirous of staying off campus, Worcester Polytechnic Institute has launched an online portal by the name ‘jumpoffcampus’ which acts as link between the landlords who are desirous of keeping tenants and students who are keen on staying in an off campus accommodation. Although the university does not take any guarantee of such private lease contracts, nevertheless it ensures that apartment listings of only genuine landlords are kept on their portal. The cost of such accommodation differs depending on if you want an apartment or a studio apartment. Normally, however, the cost of such accommodations is around $600 for a fairly decent apartment.
