Housing

Once you have made the decision to attend Montgomery Community College, locating suitable housing may be next on your list. While MCC’s policy does not allow us to maintain a housing list or to make direct referrals of applicants, we will do all that we can to assist you in every permissible way. The following may offer some assistance as well:

• Chamber of Commerce: Main Street, Troy, NC; 910-572-4300.
• Newspaper Ads: The Montgomery Herald, 139 Bruton Street, Troy, NC 27371; (910-576-6051)
• Personal contacts with local people in Montgomery County: Montgomery County is a small, rural county and much information is circulated through social and church circles rather than through commercial advertising. If you have any local contacts, you may want to utilize them in your “house hunt.” Also, your minister may know of someone in the area who may be willing to assist you.
• Currently enrolled MCC students: Many of our out-of-town students have gone through the “house hunting” experience and will be happy to offer some advice. Some may be looking for roommates.
• Bulletin Boards: Housing suggestions are often found on the bulletin boards located around the campus. Many landlords use college bulletin boards to advertise available housing.
• Real Estate Agencies: Attached is a list of real estate agencies in Montgomery and surrounding counties. Many offices are not open on weekends; you may want to contact them during normal business hours.
