Off-UT was created by brothers Nick and Matt McMillan after seeing how stressful and confusing it was for University of Tampa students to find off-campus housing. Every year, students were stuck searching through scattered listings, unreliable information, and landlords they knew nothing about, and after experiencing those challenges ourselves, we knew there had to be a better way. We started Off-UT to give students a simple, trustworthy, student-focused platform where they can find real listings, compare options, read honest reviews, and connect with compatible roommates—all in one place. We’re passionate about this because we lived the struggles firsthand, and we want to make the process easier, clearer, and more supportive for every UT student. Off-UT is built by students, for students, and our mission is to make off-campus housing something students can feel confident and prepared about, not stressed out by.
