Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus housing isn’t all that bad. After researching, there are several areas that are great to choose from. The main thing to remember is location, location, location. The closer to campus, the better for obvious reasons like time and safety. The crime rate is also something to consider. In the area of Brandywine, the crime rate is higher than in Deland, and the area is not suitable for most college students. However, apartments located near Amelia Avenue and Stetson have a better reputation. Working off of reputation is looking at whether the apartment’s worth the price. Another major thing to keep in mind is where you’ll be able to do laundry. There are some things to remember beyond the location. When renting a place outside of on-campus housing, the rent is not included in the tuition. This may come to a surprise to some students as it is assumed that the living nearby could be partially paid for in some way. At Stetson at least, it is not. The best way to pay for off-campus housing is to have roommates, a personal loan for living expenses and rent, or a job that can actually cover all of the expenses that may come around. Just remember to budget and keep within it.

Good If You Wanna Leave Your Senior Year.

At Stetson, students have to stay on campus until they accumulate 90 credit hours, so if they do plan on leaving it is only for their senior year. There are many opportunities to rent a house or an apartment, but only if it is worth the time of one year.

Do It!

The dorms are great, but by the time you become a Junior or Senior, definitely go off campus, it is so much easier/better.
