Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students can't wait to get off campus, have their own room, and make their own rules. One thing to watch out for: make sure the people you're moving in with are trustworthy enough to sign a lease. There are plenty of single-bedroom apartments, but they are also very expensive. Realty companies don't often offer individual leases, so if a roommate stops paying rent, everyone in the house is responsible.

Columbia offers multiple areas for student living, including The Falls, Bearfield, The Cottages, and Grantwood Village. These places do not offer single-bedroom housing, but rather they provide multiple-room housing for roommates. The prices for rent range from $250 to $400 per person. This does not include utilities or cable/Internet. Some of these places are very nice on the inside and are in decent neighborhoods; others (such as most housing on East Campus) are not very good. East Campus housing is good in the aspect that it is very close to campus. Most other places are about a five- to 10-minute drive from campus.

Off Campus Housing

The off campus housing is pretty nice. They are generally three story condos with a kitchen. The average cost is around 500 dollars a month per person. I know there are buses that transport people from off campus housing to campus

Student Catering

The apartments here are made for the convenience and comfort of college students. Many, although unaffiliated, have buses that run frequently to and from campus. Parking is not hard to find and most places offer free parking options. If you manage your money right you can actually save money off-campus.

You Will Have No Problems Finding One

Apartments are simply a way of life in Colombia. Everywhere I look I see advertisements. And if your worried about finding a room mate then don't be. Some places even do the match up for you.
