Moving as a student can be scary. If you’re worried about moving out on your own and finding the best apartment, you’re not alone.
Most students moving off-campus for the first time aren’t sure where to begin. This is where the following student guide for moving comes in handy:
Research All Apartments Carefully
Start your search for the best Louisiana State University off-campus housing by researching everything. Research the apartment online, visit in person and talk with people that live in the complex.
This extensive research will give you better insight into what you can expect should you become a tenant.
Consider Safety and Security
Security and safety are two key factors to keep in mind when going off-campus. Moving to Louisiana State University off-campus housing means that you won’t be able to benefit from the security of on-campus police and an RA.
Make sure your new apartment complex is safe by doing your due diligence to scout out the area. Monitor the complex and the surrounding neighborhood at different hours of the day to get a feel for whether the area is secure.
Invest in Renters Insurance
After you’ve decided on your new apartment, don’t forget to invest in renter’s insurance. Should anything happen to your belongings in your apartment, renter’s insurance will cover it. Whether you experience theft or damage caused by an accident, having insurance will save you the headache of having to replace everything yourself.
