When you gear up to go away to college, you want your new home to offer all the comforts of home plus convenience. From close proximity to campus and essential appliances to privacy and amenities, there’s a long checklist of must-haves that should be checked off when looking for college student apartments.
From Apartment to Campus
Look for an apartment complex that’s close to campus. A good rule of thumb is to have the travel time no more than 10 minutes, whether you’re biking, driving or taking public transportation to class. With close proximity, you can sleep in later and get to class on time. And if you have time between classes, you can quickly head back to your apartment to grab a bite to eat or to relax.
Essential Appliances
While you’ve likely had your meals prepared and laundry done for you at home, it’s a whole new ball game now. You’ll have to cook meals and do laundry on a regular schedule. In addition to a refrigerator, stovetop and oven, you’ll want to have a microwave for quick meals. And college student apartments with in-apartment washers and dryers make doing laundry a breeze. Skip the hassle of having to go to the laundromat and do laundry right in your apartment.
Privacy
Likely, you’ll be sharing an apartment with one, two or more roommates. And while it’s fun to have some college buds around, how will you get some privacy when needed? Sharing a bathroom is a definite hassle. You’ll have to wait in line to shower or primp yourself for a night out. A good solution is to rent an apartment that offers private bathrooms for each occupant. Apartments with decks or patios also give you a place for some alone time. Relax by yourself in a cozy chair while studying or reading that blockbuster novel.
Amenities
All work and no play are not on the college lifestyle list. You’ll want a study lounge where you get your work done along with some places for fun and relaxation. With an on-site swimming pool and fitness center, you can enjoy winding down while getting some exercise. You’ll also want a college apartment complex that offers the opportunity for some socialization. Courtyards with outdoor grills, resident lounges and heated outdoor spas are places where you gather with your friends and even meet new pals.
