How to partner with our office

The UVU Housing Fair takes place every February to provide an opportunity for students to do “one stop shopping” for places to live near UVU and the surrounding area. The Housing Fair brings together property owners and managers in order to inform students about housing options and how to successfully live off-campus. If you are a local student housing apartment complex looking to market, be sure to take advantage of the Housing Fair. The Housing Fair typically takes place in late February, is free for RCL partners, and available at a charge for other complexes.
