The Off-Campus Housing Hunt Explained in New Girl gifs

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

 

 

It feels like just yesterday we were all hurrying back to The Burg to get this school year started, but already the time has come to go to the off campus housing fair and make a game plan for next year!

 

Here’s how the overall experience goes:

You’ve been back at JMU for a month and people are already talking about living plans for next year

 

 

Then you start asking around and everyone already seems to have set plans

 

But eventually, with enough investigation, you find the perfect group of people to live with

 

 

So you start to go on apartment tours and figure out where you want to live

 

 

You’ll visit some places that definitely aren’t for you

 

 

And places that are way too fancy for you

 

 

But eventually, you’ll get down to 2 or 3 places you love and will have to choose between them

 

 

But you will make your decision and feel SO accomplished

 

 

And then FaceTime your parents for 2 hours while you try to understand what the lease is saying

 

 

But at the end of the day you’ll have an amazing apartment with some of your best friends and can spend the next 7 months of the school year excited for the new adventures next year will bring!
