Looking For Off Campus Housing Umn

By Peter Harris


In most instances, when students decide to attend a university it will involve leaving their home town and finding a place to live near to the place of learning. A number of universities will have some block accommodation but this is will often get oversubscribed and will be unavailable. When trying to find off campus housing umn there is a little homework to do first.

Initially you will need to work out how much cash you have to pay the rent and bills. A one bedroom flat for one will start from around six hundred dollars monthly and a three bedroom house will come in at around fifteen hundred and this may include some appliances and simple furnishings. Electric and water bills will usually be separate so it is worth checking this before signing.

When you are searching for suitable accommodation the first place to begin is at the university. There will be notice boards dotted around campus advertising vacant flats that are available for students to rent. It is well worth talking to other students who may have found accommodation in the area to see if they can suggest any useful contacts and offer any advice.

It is often a struggle for new students to budget their money when first away from the family home and many will take on extra work to pay the bills. A simple solution to this problem is to take a bigger property and share it with someone else who is studying at the university. This is a sensible way as it enables all of the rental costs and utility bills to be split equally.

Before you make a commitment to renting your accommodation it can be worth taking time to think about the additional costs of furnishing. Fully furnished properties are available but will be a lot more expensive and the majority will be part furnished. Another key thing to remember is that the first months rent will be doubled as it will include your damage deposit.

The majority of complexes that offer accommodation will have facilities that are included in your monthly rent payment. Swimming pools and study areas are often available as well as computer rooms with free internet access. Facilities such as bars and cafes are often on site but you will have to pay for these if you decide to use them.

The larger complexes that have housing are usually near the university and this is a big plus point. It can save students a lot of money by taking away the need to use transport to get to the campus. In many areas a free transfer is provided to and from the university and these are free of charge which also helps to save a few valuable dollars.

One very important thing to think about is the length of the tenancy that is offered. Most will offer a six or twelve month lease but some may offer longer depending on company policy. Some longer term tenancies are worth considering as a discount may be available if you are paying the whole years rent in a lump sum.
