ON CAMPUS HOUSING
There are many options for students looking for housing and the first choice to make is on-campus or off-campus. When you think of on-campus living the positives of being close to class, friends, and the dining hall can be outweighed by the prospect of living in a residence hall old enough to have housed your parents and sharing a closet-sized bedroom with a roommate who may have a totally different schedule and idea of cleanliness.
When choosing among off campus housing options students can select from traditional multifamily apartments, houses near campus, and student apartment communities.
TRADITIONAL APARTMENTS
Multifamily apartment communities have many advantages over on-campus housing, among them are greater space, amenities, and privacy. Drawbacks include splitting utility bills with roommates and being on the hook for 100% of the rent, even your roommates portion.
HOUSES NEAR CAMPUS
Renting a house near campus comes with great freedom to host guests and entertain in your space plus the benefit of not sharing walls with neighbors however many of these houses near campus are not managed by expert property management firms meaning maintenance requests may not be handled quickly or professionally.
