The independence of renting your first apartment is exciting, but don't allow your excitement to overshadow reason. Being a first-time renter is challenging and requires responsibility. Before you start viewing apartments, take some time to define your needs and calculate a budget. Add up all of your monthly income, including financial aid, and multiply this number by 0.3. The resulting value is 30% of your monthly income and roughly the amount you can comfortably spend on rent. Only consider apartments for rent with a cost close to this number. Now, do you have pets? Are you open to a roommate? What amenities do you prefer? Do you have transportation, or will you need to walk to class? Ask yourself questions like these, and stay within your budget to narrow your options.
It is crucial that you rent an apartment that is in a neighborhood that fits your needs. If you need work or you like the nightlife, choose an area with restaurants, clubs and shopping centers nearby. It helps to use Google Earth to get a feel for the place, but once again don't base your entire opinion of a place on online screenshots. Places often look different from what you see online.
Relocating can be a real scary prospect. Regardless of the reason why you are relocating, a new job, school or just for a change of venue, it seems that nothing ever gets done because of everything that needs to be taken care of. The hardest thing to do, it seems, is to find a new place to live. Finding an apartment for rent can be a challenge, but it isn't nearly as difficult as it used to be, thanks to the internet.
