As you set off on your own to discover the world of being on a college campus, one of the things that you’re going to have to think about is your housing situation. If you live close to campus, then you could always live at home to save money. However, if you want more freedom, then consider an apartment that you share with a few friends or that you rent on your own.
How Much Can You Afford?
Before you begin packing your belongings, you need to look at your income or how much money you might have to spend on LSU student apartments from your financial aid. Talk to a few apartment managers to find out if you can have roommates to decrease the amount you would have to spend each month. You also need to include groceries and utilities in your budget.
Search Early
Don’t wait until a few weeks before a new semester begins to look for an apartment. You need to start your search a few months in advance so that you can take tours of apartments and look at all the options that you must make the best decision.
Moving
When you find one of the LSU student apartments that you like, try to make it look like a home as much as possible. Your bed should be comfortable so that you can get a good night’s sleep. Don’t forget to pack or purchase items for your bathroom and kitchen as well.
