Why living off-campus is a great option for students
September is fast approaching, bringing with it a new year of university or college. If you are going to be studying away from home then you are definitely going to be dealing with the stress of finding a place to rent. Living off campus can be a great life experience that provides not only close proximity to the campus but also some unique social opportunities.
Here is why you should consider looking for an off-campus student rental:
- Generally speaking, cheaper rent is one of the perks of living off campus- especially if you know people that could be interested in sharing an apartment with you.
- Whether you know your roommates or not, living with other people around your age is not only fun but also a great learning experience. You never know what kind of cool people you can meet!
- It’s a perfect way to pick up useful skills, for example cooking for yourself and/or others is a great skill and can be lots of fun.
- Sharing expenses for utilities is a great way to lower costs.
- You will have a better concept of grocery expenses; meal plan costs often exceed what a normal student would spend on food.
- Off-campus houses or apartments provide more living space, at times parking spots and usually green space and other social areas are available.
- You will experience a higher degree of freedom as you will not be bound by campus residence policies that tends to be quite rigid.
