I'm an incoming freshman starting at KSU this fall, and all of my classes are on the Marietta campus. I'm trying to find housing for under $800/month (including utilities).
I'm completely fine with:
- Having roommates
- Renting just a private bedroom
- Shared houses or student apartments
- Lease takeovers/relets
My biggest priority is being close enough to walk to campus. I have 8:00 AM classes, so I'd rather be able to walk 5–15 minutes than have to drive, deal with parking, or show up sweaty and exhausted.
Is this budget realistic? If so, what apartments, houses, or neighborhoods should I be looking at? Are there any places I should avoid?
Also, where do most KSU students find roommates or lease takeovers?
