TIPS FOR
FIRST APARTMENT
FINDING YOUR
Find a property that is close to campus. Thats especially
important for freshman students, who are still finding
their way.
Choose a student housing property, which offers
programs tailored for college students instead of just a
box in which to live.
Ask how the model apartment you are shown differs
from the one you will rent.
Take a left-turn on the property tour to make sure the
rest of the property is not significantly different from
the parts shown to you by the leasing consultant.
Drive around the property and visit it at night. You
want 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
represents a long-term commitment.
Ask what is included in your monthly
rent (e.g. cable, utilities, etc.) and make
sure to plan for any costs that are not
included.
Make the trip to campus from the
property to see how much time the
trip takes and whether you can
walk/bike to campus.
