Whether you've just joined college or are returning as a senior, the decision on where to live, be in on or off campus, is one that must be made. Many students end up in off-campus housing simply because on-campus accommodation had limited spaces, only to find out that off-campus living is exactly what they needed. There are several reasons why living off-campus is beneficial to you as a student and as a person as a whole.
Independence
Living off-campus means that you are responsible for yourself, your rent, your schedule and just about everything. You are liberated to do whatever you wish, without the supervision of RAs. There are no strict rules as is common in college dorms, and you have to set these for yourself.
Privacy
If you choose to live in a college dorm, chances are high that you will be sharing your bedroom with one or two people. In off-campus housing, however, you will have your own bedroom, which translates into more privacy.
More space
A dorm room is usually half the size of a regular bedroom. This means that you will have to share a room that is small in the first place. Off-campus housing allows you to choose a space that is sufficient for all your needs, and you do not even have to share it.
Less expensive
College housing can be very expensive. In fact, in some instances, it is as much as the tuition. On top of that, you may have to purchase a meal plan which only serves to increase your costs. In this respect, off-campus housing is more pocket-friendly.
Fewer distractions
Living in a college dorm comes with a myriad of distractions, what with the constant parties and your roommates' friends who cannot stop coming over! When you live off-campus, you will have fewer distractions and any parties that are held will have to be authorized by the lease owner, namely, you.
Build credit
Paying for rent and utilities using a credit card on a monthly basis is a great way to build a good credit history which may come in handy after school.
Food
When you live off-campus, you are responsible for your food. This means that you can eat healthier as you have control over what makes it to the dinner table.
Roommate
Usually, when living on-campus, you have very little control over who gets to share your dorm room with you. If you do decide to live off-campus, you can choose who becomes your roommate. You can even decide to share your apartment with a close trusted friend, this way you will not be forced to share a space with someone you cannot stand.
Parking space
Off-campus housing communities usually provide sufficient parking spaces for the students. For those living on-campus, finding parking space is usually a hassle. If you are worried about this problem, you might want to explore off-campus living options.
As you can see, there are many great benefits that come with living off-campus. So if you have been feeling down about not securing on-campus accommodation, it is time to embrace the opportunities that off-campus living offers.

What Defines Convenient Living for College Students?
Copyright (c) 2015 College Park Apartments
As a student, when choosing where to live, convenience is key. This is more so if you decide to live off-campus. The trick is to find living quarters that are affordable, while at the same time offering the privacy and lifestyle you deserve. There are certain features that you should consider when choosing off-campus living quarters.
Accessibility
Your apartment should be located in an area that allows you to easily access all the facilities that you need. That means, your apartment should be within walking distance of your tuition block, the library, restaurants, shopping areas and other facilities that you will need to access on a daily basis while at college. And even if the apartment is not within walking distance, it should not be further than a few minutes' drive.
Safety
You should choose living quarters where your safety is guaranteed at all times. Be sure to check what measures have been put in place to ensure security before signing the lease of any apartment. Security lighting should be on top of the list of things to look out for. You should also inquire how access is granted, that is, can anybody get in or does one require a key to access the apartment complexes?
Flexibility
If you do choose an apartment and happen to want to move the next semester, this should be possible without too much hassle. Choosing a housing community that offers semesterly leases is a great way to remain flexible. Some apartments for students have a tenant portal access which enables tenants to pay rent online besides making maintenance requests too.
Spacious parking lot
You should never have to worry about parking space while in college. There simply isn't the time to worry about that Calculus test and at the same time worry about where to park your car. It is for this reason that you need to choose a housing community that offers ample parking space for convenient parking.
Common spaces
Many housing communities have shared spaces where you can relax with your friends as you enjoy a night in the outdoors. Such spaces include the swimming pool and maybe even summer/outdoor kitchens. It is always a good thing to have someplace where all your friends can gather after an exhausting week and have fun as you make memories. This is because you may not always be able to entertain everyone inside your apartment.
If you are a college student, or are hoping to become one soon, where you choose to live will have a great effect on the rest of your days in campus, and this goes beyond the type of roommates you will have. Consider the amount of time you wish to spend getting around (to your classes, library, group activities etc.), the kind of privacy you wish to have, the amount of money you want to spend and how much space you need when selecting your living quarters.
Once you are satisfied that the service provider meets this criterion, go ahead and sign on the dotted line.

What Makes Up Good Student Housing?
Copyright (c) 2015 Hayden Commons
As a student, the place you live in during your days in college is as important as the classes you will take, the friends you will make and even the extra-curricular activities you will take part in. This is because if you live in an environment that is conducive, you will be able to achieve so much more as compared to when you live in an environment that does not encourage productivity. The place you choose should be an off-campus housing community that will offer you the privacy and lifestyle you require.
The community should be conveniently located to ensure that you have everything you need and want in one place. You should not have to spend a lot of time walking or driving to wherever you need to if the community is centrally placed at a location that allows easy access to the University, the stadium and even the shopping and dining complexes. Your time as a student is precious, and you need to live somewhere that allows you to grab everything you need within minutes.
The apartments should also be tastefully designed and finished. They could come with a variety of floor plans and individual leases so that you get to choose the apartment that best suits your needs, to ensure that you get the best out of your experience at the university. And you don't have to stay cooped up in your apartment all day and all night. Some student apartments have a pool and summer kitchen to offer refreshing spots where friends can gather and have lots of fun while enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
There are several features that should definitely convince you that you have chosen the best place. These include:
i. Key controlled access. This ensures that only authorized persons get access.
ii. Convenient easy parking. Because the last thing you should worry about during your college years is where to park your car.
iii. Bike racks. For those who use alternative means to get around.
iv. Individual leases. Because you should not have to co-sign on lease unless that is what you really want.
v. Townhouse living. Make memories during your college years by choosing an apartment that supports the lifestyle you want.
vi. Resort style swimming pool. For those sunny days and warm evenings when you just want to soak in the pool with some friends.
vii. Mail center. For those special moments when mom or dad decides to send you a check, or when you have to correspond with your prospective Grad School.
Security lighting. Stumbling in the darkness is not something funny. Everything should stay illuminated and everybody coming and going should be easily detected, ensuring ultimate security.
Make your time at college even more pleasant by choosing a housing community that understands your needs and ensures the right environment is provided for you. Allow yourself to live well and flourish. College years fly by - live them comfortably and peacefully so that you can create memories for the future.

Features of a Good Housing Community for College Students You Never Knew About
Copyright (c) 2015 Athens Commons
Finding the right housing community as a student is important as it allows you to find a haven where you can retreat to and replenish your energy at the end of a long day at school. Not to mention, a lot of memories will be made at your apartment; memories that you will remember fondly years after you have graduated from college. When it comes to choosing a housing community, it is important to keep in mind certain things. First, the community needs to be strategically located, so you can get what you want with minimum hassle. You should be able to get to class easily, and if you need to grab a bite, you should be able to do so without spending hours on the road. In simple terms, location is key. In fact, one might say that location is everything.
A good housing community offers excellent choices for the student who wishes to enjoy the privacy and lifestyle they deserve while they pursue their university studies. The community will allow you to have the best social and academic experience while you study at the university.
The outstanding features that make a great choice, and indeed a favorite among many students include:
i. Easy access: You should be able to easily walk to class. This is definitely a huge plus, and especially so on those days when you are direly constrained for time.
ii. Key controlled access: This means that not everyone gets access to the apartments, just the authorized persons who have access keys.
iii. Convenient easy parking: This is so that you never have to worry about where to pack your car. It's college, the time to build yourself academically and socially; and not the time to worry about parking spaces.
iv. An outdoor kitchen where you can grill some food with your friends while you enjoy a warm evening outdoors.
v. Individual leases which give you much more freedom of choice.
vi. Security lighting to ensure that everything stays illuminated, and everybody is seen whether they are coming or going.
vii. A mail center that ensures correspondence is received and no checks get lost in the mail.
viii. A resort style swimming pool for those days when you are tired of studying and want to get some much-needed hydrotherapy to get your senses working again.
ix. Bike racks for the bike-lovers who prefer this alternative means of transport.
When you look back on your college years, many years after graduating, you should not have to regret about the apartment you lived in or the roommates you had. Having a comfortable living space goes a long way in ensuring you remain productive and focused during your years in college. Make the right choice and the years will fly by, the memories will be many and you will be happy about your college years. Choose the wrong living quarters and you will dread going back to your apartment every day.
