Other options:
Private Repúblicas are also another option for student housing in Ouro Preto, Mariana, and João Monlevade. Groups of students organize themselves to rent private properties, sharing the costs and duties related to the house maintenance. UFOP collaborates with legal support through an extension project from the Law Program, regarding the relationship with the landlords/landladies.
During freshmen enrollment, students living in both at UFOP and private repúblicas post vacancy information. All repúblicas require a monthly cost related to the maintenance of the house, which varies according to each house.
