After making the decision to move to your own home while in college, planning for how to pay for your home should be at the top of your list of tasks. From financial assistance offered by the school to low-income housing, there are a few things that you can do so that you can afford your own space while in college.
Before You Move
If possible, consider staying at home instead of moving out on your own when you start college. You’ll be able to save money while having the support of your family for when you need help with assignments or other concerns.
School Websites
Visit your school’s website for help finding affordable off-campus apartments at LSU. Many schools have lists of apartment complexes that are a short distance from the campus and that offer discounted rates for students. This can be an easier way to compare several options at one time instead of traveling to multiple complexes.
Lower Income
If you aren’t planning to work while in school or you have a minimal amount of financial aid, then consider low-income affordable off-campus apartments at LSU. Apartments of this type will usually look at your income and how long you plan to stay in the apartment in order to make a decision as to whether you can rent a unit or not. Keep in mind that it might not be a new unit, but most are safe and secure and offer all of the basic necessities that you’ll need for living away from home.
