UTC staff facilitates opportunities for residents to find roommates and makes housing recommendations.

Washington, DC
Washington made Kiplinger's list of 10 great cities for new college graduates in May 2011. Criteria included "rent affordability, access to public transportation, overall cost of living, culture, nightlife and the percentage of people ages 20 to 24."
"The District is a clear choice for new grads looking to start their careers in public service…….As in other large cities, well-paying jobs come with higher rents and living costs.

An abundance of free museums, concerts and other entertainment also lessens the cost-of-living sting."
