My d will be a junior next year. Her and 3 friends began looking for housing for next year in February and found a lovely 3 bedroom home approx 1.5 miles from the campus. Two will be sharing a room and 2 will have their own rooms. The home has been newly revamped and has all new everything. The rent is 2200 per month plus utilities. My daughter is sharing a room so her rent will be 450/month plus extras. Much less expensive then living on campus and the area is safe. Landscaping is also included in the rent so no mowing worries! The only drawback is we will begin to pay much sooner then we expected as the owner obviously could not hold the property until august. But after doing the math it made sense to have their housing secured. There are plenty of housing options in the area and many lovely apartments too. The students always seem to make things work so please don’t let the current or future housing situation determine your decision.
