The best way for international graduate students to find apartments close to campus is to contact current Marist graduate students. The Marist Office of Housing and Residential Life also maintains a list of available off-campus residences at

Some students choose to share with classmates thus substantially bringing the cost down. Two-four students may share a two-bedroom apartment while two can share a one-bedroom. Most landlords require a 12-month lease with one month's rent and security deposit at the time of signing.
