• Searching for the perfect off-campus student
  housing is exciting. For many students, its the
  first time living away from home. Now is your
  chance to pick a comfortable living space to
  share with friends.

• However, if you pick the wrong apartment, you
  may be unhappy for the next year. When assessing
  Hamilton apartments for rent, there are a few
  things you need to know.

Living with Many People Gets Uncomfortable Fast

• Living with numerous friends sounds like great
  fun, but it can grow old quickly if you lack
  sufficient space. Its true that youll save
  money if you fit as many people into the
  apartment as possible, especially if some of you
  share rooms.

6

• However, this also means that common areas will
  become more crowded and you may need to create
  complicated schedules for when each person can
  use the bathroom or kitchen.

7
You Should Talk to Current Tenants

• Its a good idea to find out why current tenants
  are leaving after all, it could be because of a
  problem with the apartment. If you get the
  chance, also ask tenants about any problems
  theyve experienced, such as cold, damp, or noise.

Staying Within Your Budget Is Essential

• Figure out what you can afford and never
  consider anything above this amount. When
  calculating your budget, take into account that
  youll need to pay utilities, Internet, food, and
  other essentials.

• Make sure that any housing you look at is also
  within your roommates budgets this will avoid
  problems later on. If a friend wants something
  much cheaper or more expensive, youll be better
  off living with someone else.

Location Matters

• Only search within a certain radius. If you live
  too far from school, youll struggle to make it
  to classes on time and become exhausted by your
  daily journey. Ideally, you want to be able to
  walk or bike to campus.

• However, if you find an apartment that is well
  connected with public transport or you own a car,
  a slightly farther distance may be feasible.
  Whatever you do, dont plan for someone else to
  drive you to school every day.
