UT Austin’s International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) website provides some great housing resources for both international students and US citizens. They have detailed information regarding apartment guides, apartment finders, Austin-area utilities (electric, water, gas, etc.), average rental rates, rental terminology, rental procedures, and Austin-area bus routes and bus schedules for students.
