Housing

Options for Rush students

Rush University is developing a new master facility plan that supports Rush’s vision for education, patient care, research and community engagement. This plan will include significant changes to our campus, including our former on-campus housing site, Center Court Gardens, or CCG, which permanently closed on June 30, 2016.

Tailor Lofts Student Apartments

We are happy to announce that we have secured a block of apartments at Tailor Lofts Student Apartments (315 S. Peoria St.) to address current and future housing needs while the new master facility plan emerges. Tailor Lofts Student Apartments are located one mile east of Rush’s campus, just two stops away on the blue line train. 

The Rush University block of apartments for 2018-19 is currently fully occupied.  To join the waitlist or discuss other options at Tailor Lofts, contact the leasing managers at (312) 563-5638.  For additional information, view the property online at tailorlofts.info. Applications for the 2018-19 academic year are currently available for the Rush University block of apartments. Please note that all leases are 12 months.

The amenities at Tailor Lofts Student Apartments include, but are not limited to, the following:

• 24-hour security presence on first-floor entrance
• Wi-Fi throughout entire building
• 24-hour Mac computer center with printing capabilities
• 24-hour fitness center
• Laundry center and recycling facilities on every floor
• Kitchens in every unit (including microwave, stove and full-size refrigerator)

Rush has worked with Tailor Lofts Student Apartments to negotiate special rates for Rush students. To ensure additional convenience, registered Rush students residing at Tailor Lofts will have their housing costs, in addition to their tuition and related student fees, billed through the University.

These conveniently located and competitively priced student apartments are likely to go quick! Interested Rush students should immediately begin contacting the Tailor Loft leasing managers: Briana Russell, Ranna Patel or Sabrina Hunt, at (312) 563-5638 for a tour and to begin the application process.  Be sure to mention that you are a Rush University student when you contact them!

Brokers

We are also happy to be working with two brokerage companies that will assist students, free of charge, with locating and securing other off-campus housing. Both companies work with a variety of properties in the Chicago area and have been awarded for their great customer service.
