Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of the convenience of on-campus housing for more cash in your wallet and complete independence, you will enjoy living off campus. There are rental properties everywhere, from houses to studio apartments. This option is only for those who are able to opt out of the housing requirement, either by credit hours or age. One of the most popular types of off-campus housing is a house or duplex, since you can cram more people in for some killer parties. Many of the places to rent are within walking distance of campus, or a very short drive. The good places sell out quickly, so you have to start your search as early as possible.

It’s not such a problem in the apartments, which are dominated by the college crowd, but many students who live in houses often butt heads with the townies. Most have no problem calling the police if they have a problem with one of their neighbors’ parties. If you’re mellow with a good group of friends, you won’t have problems living off campus. There are just a handful of rowdy Kent Staters who tarnish the name of the rest of the student body. For the majority of upperclassmen, living off campus is the way to go.

There are a lot of apartments being built right now but they arent very cheap. They cost as much if not more than the Centennial dorms but they are brand new so it could be worth it

There are a lot of apartments nearby, but they all appear to be in not the best shape. They are building new apartments, however, that seem very nice and would be a great option to live in.

Off-Campus Housing

You can't drive within five miles of campus without finding apartment buildings everywhere you look. Most of the complexes are within walking distance to main campus, and if they are not, there is always a bus that will take you there. The one concern I have is the cost. I'm a broke college kid, I cannot afford all these luxurious, brand new apartments.
