Home Sweet Help: Your Guide to Off-Campus Living Part Two

It’s hard to believe that first semester is already over! With winter break already in full swing, finding a place to live next year is probably the last thing on your mind. However, many leases have already been signed and if you haven’t locked down a place for next year, it’s definitely time to get started. Last year we provided you with a guide to off-campus living in Columbia. This year we want to give you a little more info on your options to help make signing a lease as stress-free as possible.
