An Open Letter to Parents:
Unless your Appalachian State son or daughter is an incoming freshman who is required to live on campus, you may be weighing the pros and cons of agreeing to off campus housing for next semester. Now is the perfect time to explore available options and find student apartments in Boone.
The university, through its Off Campus Community Relations Program, can help answer some of your questions and can be a starting point in your search to find student apartments. But we know you will want to embark on a search of your own. You have both a financial stake and an emotional investment in ensuring that your son or daughter is comfortable, secure and well-cared for, among friends with similar interests and values. You’ll also feel better knowing that he or she has some special amenities and enough “perks” to justify the move. Like most parents, you will likely do whatever you can to encourage good academic habits as well as to promote self-sufficiency and individual responsibility.
You have every right to take an active part in the search to find student apartments, just as you want to continue to be an influence for good in your child’s life.
How do you find student apartments to meet all your expectations?
Your first step, probably, will be an online search. You’ll save time and energy by narrowing your choices to a handful of possibilities that look promising. Then, we know you’ll want to actually visit the properties. We know you have choices in Boone. And we encourage you to perform due diligence just as you did when you helped your child evaluate college options. Watch videos, make phone calls, read written reviews, even search news archives for stories of interest. Talk to other parents. In order to find student apartments that meet your criteria, you will want to take some time, talk to your child about desires and expectations, and compare costs.
We encourage you to contact our leasing office, and to visit the actual site of what we believe will be the premier off campus student housing in Boone.
