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.
