Why Living Off Campus Next Semester Makes Sense

If you’re planning your next semester here, this is definitely the time to start interviewing landlords, viewing apartments and making your reservations for your off-campus accommodations. Student apartment rentals in Ithaca can be one of the best things you can do for yourself and your college experience.

Many freshmen start off with dormitory living as it seems easier and less of a hassle. Until they actually experience dorm life. Now for those of you who love hustle and bustle, little privacy, lots of interruptions, and rules, then on-campus or dorm living may be perfectly fine for you.

Usually, after the first year, though, students decide to look at other options and living off-campus is truly the way to go. Affordable apartment rentals in Ithaca can make sense for your budget and for your well-being.

Good Reasons to Choose to Live Off Campus

– Finding affordable apartment rentals in Ithaca is usually less expensive than on-campus costs. It takes some investigation and homework, but finding a monthly rent that’s less expensive is very doable.

-Absolutely more freedom which goes hand-in-hand with more responsibility. But hey, that’s why you are out here in the big world, right? In your own apartment, you can set the rules and boundaries. Invite your friends over or just have a truly quiet space all to yourself.

– Can we remind you that personal space is at a premium in a dorm. Student apartment rentals in Ithaca provides you with ample space for living your life all on your own terms. Having your own kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom will make it all feel so much more comfortable and like a real home.

-The joys of roommate roulette are removed. You just never know who is going to be placed in with you in that small dorm room. But in your own apartment, you have choice to find the right roommate to share space with.

– Thinking ahead to the summer, what happens to dorm students? Yes, they have to pack up, find summer quarters, and then return next semester to start all over again.  Affordable apartment rentals in Ithaca come with the ability to remain in the apartment during off season as long as you continue to pay your rent. No having to move, relocate or finding a place to store your things.

  • Living off-campus has many benefits, one more of which is the community you live in. That means the neighborhood, the neighbors, local shops, cafes and activities. You become a part of a larger scene and can make friends with other interesting people.
