Aims Community College Partners with College Pads to Deliver New Off-Campus Housing Marketplace
August 08, 2024
College Pads provides Aims students with an educational tool to help them become more educated renters, compare off-campus housing options, find potential roommates, and sublet their existing units, when applicable.
This new platform at offcampushousing.aims.edu provides a vastly improved interface for students to find housing near campus.
One of the goals of the new platform is to increase student engagement in selecting their living community. College Pads will invest heavily in actively advertising the platform to students to ensure that the majority of students use the new platform to search for their housing. This increased student engagement will provide a powerful resource for students, parents, faculty, and staff and improve traffic flow to local property owners and managers.
“This initiative is part of our proactive approach to address the holistic needs of our students,” said Larry Pakowski, Aims Vice President, Student Engagement, Inclusion, & Success. “Affordable housing is difficult to find and providing this resource sets students up for success outside the classroom.”
The new platform includes renter education modules to help students successfully navigate the transition to off-campus life and become better educated on the local rental processes.
Custom-tailored to the needs of student renters, the College Pads platform also offers students a customized roommate and sublease portal.
Property owners and managers can purchase Listings created by College Pads’ staff, improving overall listing quality.
College Pads is the fastest-growing company in off-campus housing. It is used at many other institutions nationwide, including the University of Northern Colorado, Colorado State University, and more.
