Housing

The University may help in renting affordable shared apartments in the City of Alameda. Alameda is a safe community located on an island south of downtown Oakland. The rent for a shared apartment starts from $750 monthly per person. These apartments are not owned by the University; however, are maintained and furnished by it. The monthly rent includes utilities, high-speed internet, and renter’s insurance. The apartment complex offers controlled access, a pool, fitness center, laundry facilities, and is located near a bus stop with a short commuting distance to Lincoln University.

Alternatively, students may choose to utilize housing websites and independent rental agencies to find apartments, share with other students, or live with relatives or friends.
