Housing at WKU: What’s Right for You?

Are you looking for housing at WKU? For most people, it is hard to decide where to start when they are looking for a place to live near WKU. There are a lot of options out there to choose from, so how do you narrow down your choices? Where do you start? Well, there are some important apartment features that you can decide on that will help you narrow down your search field and find something that is right for you. Here are a couple of things that you can think about when you are looking for housing.


Choosing a Price Range

   
Probably the first thing you should decide on when looking for housing is how much you can afford to pay. You don’t want to waste time looking at apartments that you can’t afford, and you definitely don’t want to find a place you love only to realize you could never make the monthly rent payments. For these reasons, you will want to figure out a price range before you start checking out places to live. Figuring out what you can afford to pay on housing can be difficult, but it’s very important that you take the time to look at your budget and necessary expenses to come up with a realistic housing budget that you can afford to pay every month.


Choosing between Privacy and a Roommate


Next, you will also want to decide if you want to share your bedroom with a roommate or if you need a private room. A lot of people share a room with a roommate during college because there are a lot of social benefits to having a roommate. However, many people also choose to live in private rooms. With a private room, you can still have the social benefits of sharing an apartment with other students, but you can also maintain your space and privacy. A private room can be very advantageous for someone who has trouble concentrating and needs privacy and quiet when they are studying and working on school work. Also, with a private room you have a lot more storage space for all your things, which can help you make your new apartment feel comfortable and just like home. You will want to consider which rooming option is better for you when you are looking at what different options for housing at WKU have to offer you.
