3 Ways To Convince Parents Of The Benefits Of Living Off Campus

This is your chance to break free and demonstrate to friends and family that you’re well on your way to becoming a responsible adult. Here are three convincing reasons that will “speak to” even the most protective parents about the benefits of living off campus.

Security and Support

Most parents have conflicting emotions when sending a child off to college, holding on and letting go. Intellectually, every parent knows that some of the best collegiate lessons have to do with freedom and responsibility. Instinctively, however, it’s normal to wonder if the lessons taught at home will be enough to foster that independence. Knowing that suitable off campus apartments are in a controlled access building close to campus is a great relief. Quiet parental fears by acknowledging their concern. Mention that secure parking is also a part of the deal at The Standard, as well as electronic key locks to individual units and complex-wide video monitoring capabilities.

Don’t forget to tell your parents that onsite building management is dedicated to providing assistance and comfort, and that a maintenance staff will handle any physical problems and building emergencies.

Bang for the Buck — Benefits of Living Off Campus

This is not a drab walkup apartment furnished with shabby castoff furniture. Rather, you’ll reap the benefits of living off campus in stylish surroundings for about the same total dollars as traditional dorm “room and board.” But you’ll also enjoy the luxury of a private bedroom and bath, in addition to a spacious living-dining room with a modern kitchen and individual laundry facilities. Invite friends to your private quarters for a home cooked meal and a television movie on your own large flat-screen TV. The entire complex also boasts cable and high-speed internet connections.

Not only is every 1-4 bedroom apartment fully furnished and stylishly decorated, but each unit is well-insulated and energy-efficient in order to keep utility costs low. Leases are individually signed by each tenant, and we also offer a roommate matching service to assure compatibility.

All you have to do is bring your clothes and family pictures, buy your books and plan to ace your classes at ASU.

A Well-Balanced Lifestyle Is One Of The Benefits Of Living Off Campus

Parents know that college is not all about studying. Don’t ever think otherwise. So go ahead and talk to your folks about The Standard at Boone’s heated outdoor spas and other entertainment attractions, about fitness facilities that include a cardio studio and strength center, about the 24-hour study center designed for test-cramming, and about the resident clubhouse and onsite shuffleboard and outdoor climbing rock that will be your leisure-time havens. Promise that you’ll eat good, nutritious food because there is an outdoor grill available as well as your apartment’s fully-equipped kitchen.

Add that the building has it’s own Starbucks. This is just another one of the benefits of living off campus!

If your parents aren’t yet convinced, schedule a virtual tour for them, and then call us to discuss options.  We’ll help you choose a unit for the Fall 2016 term.
