Off- or on-campus? Oh, the struggle… If you’re a student, you probably already know this feeling, but if you don’t, you almost certainly will at some point. There are many upsides to each and there’s really no right or wrong choice. You have to contemplate all of your personal preferences and possibilities, and yeah, pretty much figure it out for yourself….If you choose to live on-campus, making the move is as straightforward as it gets... However, if you’d rather sleep in your own bedroom, cook in your own kitchen, mind your own business in your own bathroom, things can get a bit tricky. Regardless of your reasoning, your first rental will be a crucial step on the path to becoming a responsible adult—and as such it will give you an extra, complex challenge to overcome. But fear not, as there are lots of great rentals in the city, and leafing through the options is fun and exciting. In other words, it’s completely worth it! We know time is an important factor in a student’s life, so we narrowed down the search to apartments within a 30-minute walk from the campus and a maximum rent of $1,600 per month for an apartment.
