Why finding off campus housing is hell

Before this last month I has never had to fool with off campus housing. I still lived at home and my boyfriend lived on campus in graduate housing. When we decided graduate housing had turned into too much of a hassle, we started the search for an apartment. We didn’t realize how much of a hell it would turn into.

Moving exposes missed connections

I felt an inkling of regret walking past the empty apartment downstairs. I had wanted to introduce myself to my neighbors, a man and woman in their mid-20s who shared a car covered in video game-themed stickers.

Making the move a bit easier

Maybe you’re about to start your first week of college; or maybe you’ll be returning to the same apartment with the same roommates. Regardless of how you’re feeling (dread, excitement, stress or otherwise), it’s important to start the year with your room and your roommates on a good note.

New internship, new you

It’s now officially the start of summer, and while some are taking classes or working, others are getting ready for their first day at a new internship --hoping to leave an impression that screams professional and prepared.
