RMSP provides assistance in locating housing for students. There are a number of apartments to rent or sublet during the summer months in Missoula. Many students find it economical and convenient to share housing costs for the summer and RMSP generates a roommate match list for this purpose. A Housing Resource Packet is available to students upon enrollment.
