Making the decision to move off campus can be both exciting and scary. The exciting part includes getting full freedom (no more annoying check in and check out times!), being able to make your own decisions and completely being able to make a place your own. The scary part is deciding where to stay, what price is best for you and who would make good roommates. Although I can’t help you along the entire way, I can make you more aware of some of your options and what they have to offer!
