October rolled around and I was starting to feel at home. I was starting to feel like I belonged and like I knew what I was doing. I couldn’t predict how off balance I would soon be feeling. While my mind was on the next test grade and how much homework I had for the night, I was informed that it was time to make some decisions. Decisions? What decisions? The hot topic around college campuses in October is whether you’re living on campus or off campus, and who you’re spending your next year with. I was totally unaware that it was time to either go apartment hunting, or new roommate hunting.
While I felt that I couldn’t have asked for a better roommate, I knew she would be living off campus next year, and I would be staying on campus. It just seemed like the best alternative when considering my parent’s financial situation, but I was left with a dilemma. Who would I be living with next year?
When faced with this dilemma there are several things to consider.
- Who is paying for this?
- Where do you feel more comfortable?
- Who are you planning on living with?
- If you don’t know who you’re living with next year, how are you going to find someone?
- What’s your price range?
- Are there any places that you could live that work with your budget?
- Safety, is this place nice?
I ended up staying on campus because it was the best choice for me and I met a very nice girl who I will live with next year, but what about you? Have you made any decisions? Don’t wait until it’s too late.
