TIPS FOR FINDING YOUR FIRST APARTMENT
Find a property near to campus. That’s particularly necessary for freshman students, who just started their way. Choose a rental housing property, which best fits your requirements instead of just a “box” in which to live. Ask how the model rental apartment shown differs from the one you will rent. Take a tour on the property and make sure the rest of the property is also meet you criteria's from the parts shown to you by the leasing consultant. Drive around at night to make sure it is the type of environment in which you will feel comfortable living. Read the lease because it is a binding document and represent a long term commitment. Monthly rent. Ask what all included in your monthly rent (e.g. cable, utilities, etc.) and make sure to plan for any costs that are not included. Time to campus. Make the trip to campus from the property to see how much time the trip takes and whether you can walk/bike to campus.
