- Off-Campus Housing

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Many freshmen and almost all upperclassmen students utilize off-campus housing, and there have been dozens of new
luxury housing complexes built close to campus that are specifically marketed to students. Many of these places offer
two- to four-bedroom apartments that are available on a per-person lease basis, meaning you’re not responsible if any of
your roommates don’t pay their rent. All amenities are usually included in one price: phone, cable, Internet, computer lab,
laundry facility, health facility, and, of course, a pool.

The increase in student housing has been key to the development of the city. As apartments are built, new
restaurants and stores arrive to provide products and services to the new residents and their credit cards. This construction boom has created a plush experience for students, but some of the new apartments have financially ruined students who didn’t read the lease closely or didn’t comply with a policy written in small print. The prices of these properties are comparable to on-campus housing, so living off campus seems to be the most obvious choice for many students. Plus, some of the apartments are absolutely luxurious. Many of the people who manage these properties cater to students, but be careful because some are poor landlords, and others are out to take advantage of wealthy renters.

Many Choices to Pick from...

There are a wide variety of apartments and houses for rent in the area around campus. Oftentimes, one can find a very decent living space for a surprisingly low price. Safety is average and pretty uniform everywhere, which is to be expected around any college campus. MTSU offers a convenient "Off-Campus Living" website where one can find sublets, roommates, furniture for sale and more advertisements associated with living off campus.

Okay

The off campus housing is kind of expensive. The good thing is that most of them have shuttles to campus. The safety is good on them.

The Facilities in Off Campus Apartments Are Well Below Par

The buildings seem to all be built soundly, but the houses are beginning to get run down and very few have central air conditioning. The bigger problem is that you will probably be living with roommates who do not know how to clean up after themselves because they've never had to.
