I agree with Mwallenmd, for the most part the kids ask around to each other and see where they want to live… for my D some areas that she considered “sketchy” she avoided. She has rented on South Main Street almost across the tracks from Dickinson and Rodney next to BWW with Tsonias Management. I can say they have been very good to my D and her room mates in regards to repairs and issues and the building is new and the hallways are kept clean. They are building a new building on Main street as well but I understand it’s a bit pricey. Just looking up Lang and Tsonias will give you a very good start of locations for student housing.
There is also the newer student housing- The Retreat… it’s a big off campus but offers shuttles… I was skeptical about their ability to transport the kids efficiently but it is a nice housing option for students. Does anyone have feedback for them after their first year? I will begin the process of searching with my son and room mates in September but I think they want to be as close to campus as possible.
