I'm thinking about moving off campus into an apartment for next semester. My friend lives there now but she's going to be graduating, and I'm debating about going in there after her.
It's a sectioned off area of a woman's house - it has a small kitchen, good sized bedroom, large living room and a large bathroom. Furnished. It's $500/mo including heat/hot water/electricity, and in addition to that I'd have to pay for a phone/cable/internet bundle - but even with that it's still cheaper than what my room/board costs here per month (~$740) for a double style room.
It's about 10 minutes off campus. Oh, and it's cat-friendly!
However, having never lived in an apartment or alone, I was hoping some of you could offer me some advice/tips for living alone, or if you lived/are living off campus, some pros/cons of it?
Thanks!
