<p>Hi Scrapgal, I’m a transfer student and at first findgin off campus housing was difficult. I’m living off campus becasue they did not have any room left in the housing:( and I’m a freshman, who is really going to be a sophmore credit wise lol. I used multiple sites, but i first used FSU’s off campus housing site that lists properties near FSU and thier prices. The site is good, but personally I used Craigslist, many students who are looking to lease or sublease thier off campus housing put it on craigslist. So you can try Craigslist.com if you would like. They post something everyday! Also make sure you have the full price of the rental. this includes utilities and such. With that said here are a few more tips. I always looked at the craigslist posts with the pictures, becasue this gave me an idea of how the place looked. However, DO NOT trust anything you see on the internet. you need to go to the actual place becasue something you see online may look completely different in person. I also stuck with popular managements, for example, ipad, chance Partners, etc. It’s easy to look them up and find them. Try to get a place that is close in walking distance to FSU, and make sure the surrounding area is somewhere you feel is safe. There are many places near FSU that are nice, on chapel drive, Brevard St, and St. Augustine, and Pensacola Street. And make sure to research, check reviews and speak with people when you get up there. The decision in the place I chose came from reviews and speaking to people whom previously stayed there. Also some of the off camus housing does roommate matching, just like they do one cmapus. So that’s one more plus! The process can be time consuming, but in th end you will find a great palce that fits your needs. Good luck with the search! And if your moving in for spring, hurry! lol Once Again, Good luck and Happy Holidays:)</p>
