Saying goodbye to a dorm room is exciting for many college students, but then comes the reality of living off campus. For some, making this transition proves more challenging than expected. Here are some tips for transitioning to off-campus student housing at Central Michigan University.
Find the Right Type of Off-Campus Housing
The best off-campus housing for students is designed for college students, not the average person. This type of housing only rents to students and offers amenities such as shuttles to and from campus, roommate matching, and per-person contracts (more on that in a minute). Students who choose student-focused housing find making the transition much easier.
Go with a Per-Person Lease Agreement
College is stressful. Living alone (even with roommates) is stressful. The last thing a college student needs is to worry about their housing if their roommates don’t have their portion of the rent. That’s why per-person lease agreements are ideal. With this type of lease, each person is only responsible for their rent. If a roommate flakes on rent, it doesn’t affect anyone else’s housing in the apartment.
Enjoy the Amenities
There’s probably never going to be a time in a person’s life that’s more freeing than the college years. So, choose an apartment with great amenities like cafes, putting greens, resort-like pool areas, and social events, and have fun! These years won’t last forever.
