Mustang Match | Off-Campus Housing

Mustang Match is Western’s online roommate-finder, designed to help students connect with potential housemates before signing a lease. This free service is available exclusively to Western students looking for off-campus housing.

Why Use Mustang Match?

Compatible match: find students with similar habits and preferences for a smoother shared living experience.
Verified students only: the tool is restricted to Western students, creating a more trusted environment.
A more structured search: a dedicated space to connect, so finding a housemate doesn’t feel like starting from scratch.
Build connections early: meet your future housemate before moving in.

How It Works

Create Your Profile: Log in with your Western Identity and answer a few questions about your sleep schedule, study habits, cleanliness preferences, social lifestyle, budget and housing timeline, etc.
Browse and Connect: Search and filter student profiles to find someone who fits your living style. When you find a potential match, reach out directly to start a conversation.

Secure Housing: Once you’ve found a housemate, search for off-campus listings, join an existing lease or find a new property together. Browse available properties through our rentals page.
