Looking for an off-campus place to live can be both exciting and stressful. You might feel overwhelmed, wondering how to go about the process. Let’s look at some key things you’ll need to know before signing that contract.
Cost
Know your budget up front. Student housing Baton Rouge can be a competitive market. Having a figure in mind before you start looking will save you a lot of time and headache. You’ll need to factor in more than just the monthly rent. Ask about the average cost of utilities, the security deposit, and any other fees the landlord may require.
Location
Baton Rouge is home to a mix of several universities, colleges, and technical schools. Your student housing Baton Rouge should ideally be close to whichever campus you’re attending. If not, check to see if an apartment complex offers shuttles to and from campus, or discounts on rideshare services.
Amenities
Some amenities, like a washer and dryer, wi-fi, furniture, pet-friendliness, and air conditioning are must haves. Others, like a fitness center or pool, are added luxuries. Amenities can be conditional, depending on your situation. For instance, if you don’t have your own car, then access to public transport might be something you really need. Ask yourself what you need most, and whether your budget can handle any extra comforts.
