We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant community where the majority of students live on or very close to campus. At Clark, we understand that part of your growth and development includes gaining experience in a more independent and autonomous environment, such as shared housing. For this reason, Clark University juniors, seniors, and graduate students have the option of moving off-campus and living in the Main South neighborhood or greater Worcester community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark University and the City of Worcester have collaborated to create a healthy and safe environment in the neighborhoods surrounding our campus. Moving off-campus, even if it\u2019s just a few steps away from Clark property, means becoming a part of \u201cthe city.\u201d We expect our students to consider themselves as much residents of Worcester as they are students at Clark University. As a member of the Worcester community, you have the additional responsibility of knowing and respecting the rights, responsibilities, ordinances, and laws that come with being an off-campus student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitioning from University-owned housing to private living arrangements presents unique challenges. This section provides valuable information about being a good neighbor and responsible renter for those who are, or are thinking about, living off-campus. Clark University and the local Main South community are equal partners in ensuring a quality living experience for all. Clark students play an integral role in the Main South neighborhood and make a positive impact on the community. Off-campus students are expected to adhere to all local and state laws and live within the expectations outlined in the Code of Student Conduct and The Clark Commitment. Violations of any policy or law may result in disciplinary action through our conduct system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to support you in this new chapter of your journey and look forward to seeing the positive contributions you will make to both Clark University and the Worcester community!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
