If you’re a new college student, you know how stressful it can be to find a place to live. You want something close to the university so you can get to class easily. And of course, the more affordable the better! Luckily for you, there are plenty of options out there if you know where to look. To help make this transition as easy as possible for new students, this blog post lists three steps on finding student housing at Ole Miss.
Decide Whether You Want a Roommate to Live With
Depending on what you are looking for, it may help to find a roommate and split the cost of the rent. This way each person pays less than if they were living alone while also getting company in their new home! It’s important that when agreeing upon this situation with your potential roommates there is an understanding of what is expected to be when living together. For example, who will clean the dishes or do laundry? Figure this out before moving in!
You may also want a place where you’ll have some privacy and not live with roommates. If that’s the case, be sure to narrow your apartment search only to student housing that offers one-bedroom apartments.
Get on the Waiting List Early
Another important thing to keep in mind when searching for off-campus student housing at Ole Miss is that many complexes will have a waiting list. You may be able to go on the waiting list as soon you’re accepted into your college so check with them immediately!
Start Looking for Housing as Soon as You Know Where You’re Going to School
The earlier you start looking for off-campus housing, the easier it will be to find a place. The best time of year is typically in May or June (before school starts) but don’t wait until the last minute either!
