Find stuff in the ODE Classifieds 346-4343 The right home can be found ■ Students should weigh all the options before choosing a place to live By Jackson Jeyanayagam for the Emerald ‘‘Where am I going to live next year?” This is a question that many students are trying to figure out this time of year. If you are graduating, then your primary concern be comes getting a job or get ting into grad school. For those students left with another year of midterms, relationship prob lems and internship search es, however, the issue of finding a place to live soon becomes an unwanted bur den. Most likely, with a little preparation, you will be a lit tle more on track to finding that “home, sweet home!" While University Hous ing states that the majority of incoming freshmen choose to live in the resi dence halls their first year, students often disregard the option of living there a sec ond year. Senior business major Matthew Kernan ex plains that he didn’t mind living in the residence halls for a second year. “I liked the dorms,” he said. “I am happy to live on my own now, but I met a lot of great people and had a good time.” For those students who choose to move out of the dorms though, this is the first time they will live on their own, so finding a house or apartment seems like the logical first step to ward adulthood. With apartments ranging from as low as $200 a month to as high as more than $1000 a month, factors such as location, number of rooms and accessories all contribute to the total price. For example, a one bed room apartment in the Hil yard House may cost you around $600 per month, but you will receive benefits such as secured parking, a washer/dryer, free Internet access and a weight facility. Various other locations offer furnished and unfur nished bedrooms. General ly, the closer you are to cam pus and the newer the apartment or house, the more likely you will be pay ing a higher price. It is also important to look into the leasing terms. Many apart ments are on a one-year lease, which means you will be paying past the end of school. Month-to-month or nine-month leases are also available. If an apartment is too cramped, you may want to find a house to rent. “A house is more private and separated, and it feels like it’s yours,” said senior education major Rachael Dollinger. “I have a lot of space that I can call my own.” Renting a house usually ranges individuals any where from $200 to $450, depending on where it is and how many people you are sharing the rent with. There are many houses that can hold more than eight people. If you are interested in living with a lot of close friends, another option may be to live in a fraternity or sorority house. “The living environment is perfect,” said sophomore Nate Lyons, a member of Delta Upsilon since fall of 1998. “You are living with your best friends who can be there or help you with anything, and it’s as cheap as anything else you could find.” Each fraternity and soror ity house has its own uniqueness, are compara ble to the residence halls in price and convenience. Often, students are so ex cited to move out of their family homes and out of the residence halls that they forget living on your own can be very expensive, ASUO Housing Advocate Matthew Lieuallen said. Lieuallen says that where you should live depends on what environment you are looking for. He said it’s im portant that students make sure they have roommates they can live with who are responsible and will pay the bills on time. “It can really put a strain on your friendship if you keep receiving ‘past due’ notices,” he said. €merald Apartments Reserve now for summer/fall • 2 bedroom • covered parking • on-site laundry • disposal • dishwasher • sundeck Perfect location Summer $360 • fall $530 half block from Hayward Field 1877 Emerald Call Richard at 501-4246, 683-8155 Stewardship Properties • 343-6000 www.stewardshippropertiesxom “Because space is a terrible thing to waste” * the closest to the University of Oregon * climate controlled * small, medium * professional & courteous storage counselors * special rates for student id holders * secure § * special Husky & Beaver § storage We’ve got you covered. 1(541) 683-5622 StorltAli STUDENT'S MINI-STORAGE 550 E. 8th St. Eugene, OR 97401 R Yearly: $245 - $295 • Within a block of UO • Historic 11 bedroom, 3 story house • Loads of charm • All utilities paid • Huge kitchen to share • Covered bike rack We are looking for considerate people who want a friendly and scholastic environment. | Call 461 -0199 for showing PEARL GARDEN APARTMENTS 135 E. 19th #1 Call 345-5949 or 343-0131 ^ Exceptionally nice, large 1 & 2 bedrooms with patio or balcony ♦ Parking, laundry facilities ^ Close to UofO and Safeway ♦ Quiet, pet free |$375-$575 summer • $475-$700 fall WALK TO CAMPUS! 1 ONE TO EIGHT BEDROOM HOUSES AND DUPLEXES Leases Available Summer and Fall BEAT THE RUSH!
