McManus Living and Learning Center
- The Kellogg School of Management operates the McManus Living and Learning Center, a seven-story apartment complex with 208 living units consisting of one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as single and double studio apartments. A few double studio apartments are designed to accommodate families with up to two children. Housing here is primarily for the MBA students and tends to be near capacity each year; however, PhD students have been accommodated.

Off-Campus Housing
Evanston is a university town, so there is a variety of housing options available to students depending on what they are looking for and where they want to live. Evanston is also close to Chicago for those who would prefer to live in the city. Northwestern University does not provide an apartment finding service. However, Northwestern does have a number of web links under Off-Campus Housing to places that specialize in advertising places to rent or sub-lease. Most housing available for September occupancy is listed in early August, so a trip to Evanston at that time is advisable.

Homestay Program for International Students
The Homestay Program is for international students looking for temporary housing when they arrive in the United States. This program is administered by the Community Council for International Students, and students are housed by a local individual or family for two to seven days before their permanent housing is available.

Additional Housing Resources
For additional housing options, students should consult the local newspapers, such as the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Evanston Review and Chicago Reader for apartment rentals. Online versions of these publications are available.

Childcare Resources
For PhD students who are also parents, the Office of Childcare, Family Resources, and Work Life at Northwestern provides helpful information about childcare options and provider referral services in the Evanston and Chicago area. Tips for finding childcare, a listing of childcare programs, backup childcare resources, and financial assistance programs are provided online.
