How to Move Off Campus

• The prospect of moving off campus can be fun and
  exciting. But if you dont know how to search for
  off-campus housing, it can also be frustrating
  and intimidating. Fortunately, there are some
  tips that can help ease the stress of being a
  first-time renter. Some tricks can also help you
  find the student apartment of your dreams. Below
  are a few of these tricks.

Look for Helpful Services and Resources

• Once again, if youre unprepared, moving
  off-campus can be intimidating. But many
  universities offer services and resources that
  help with off-campus moves. These services and
  resources can help you find apartments or any
  rooms for rent Oshawa offers, provide information
  on your renters rights, help you find a roommate
  or provide alerts when housing becomes available.

• Support can also be found at housing
  communities, such as Village Suites Oshawa. This
  community offers information and resources to
  guide students on the apartment-search,
  leasing-signing and moving processes. Plus, they
  offer premium student housing to Durham and
  University of Toronto Institute of Technology
  (UOIT) students

Find a Place with Valuable Amenities

• Amenities can make apartment living fun and
  convenient. However, there are some facilities
  students need that traditional apartment
  communities dont offer. For example, private
  study lounges where you can cram for an exam in
  peace. While amenities like this are a must-have,
  communities like Village Suites Oshawa offer so
  much more with their UOIT off campus housing,
  including

• Proximity to the campus
• A 24-hour fitness centre
• Furnished and inclusive apartments with private
  balconies
• Free Wi-Fi
• A yoga studio
• A recreation centre with billiards and ping pong

7

• On-site parking
• A theatre
• So, when you search for an off-campus apartment,
  make sure it offers amenities that are valuable
  to you as a college student and young adult.

Find a Good Roommate

• If you cant afford a place on your own, then
  your first step is to find a roommate a good
  roommate. Finding a good roommate isnt always
  easy. However, moving off campus allows you to
  choose your own roommate. This means you can hold
  interviews and find candidates that match your
  style, personality and life goals.

• Youll have total control over who your
  roommates are, as well as how many you have. No
  more random accommodations with random people who
  you might not get along with. Plus, apartments
  are bigger than dorm rooms, so you and your
  roommate wont be living on top of each other.
  Just be sure to divide the rent, bills and other
  household expenses evenly and fairly.
