My brother is currently a senior at RPI, and he lives in an off campus apartment with room-mates. I know that Troy can be a rather “shady” area, but he has never had a problem walking back places (i.e. the student union) late at night back to his apartment (about a 5-7 minute walk). Troy may seem like a terrible place, but it’s not THAT bad if you’re just smart about it.

As far as housing, it’s not hard to find off campus housing, as long as you start looking early. Their are plenty of landlords that are willing to rent out to students for the year with pretty affordable rent. Truth be told, living off campus will save you a ton of money, because room and board at RPI is ridiculously over priced for what it is.
