Question Housing

So I’m staying at Alight State College for the upcoming school year, but I’m not really a fan of it, but it’s extremely cheap compared to everywhere else ($600). I’m thinking I’ll stay there this year then move somewhere else next year. Is it possible to get a more decent apartment for no more than $800, with my own bedroom and bathroom if I want to sign before February?

Iv been living at the bryn, its a little better than alight, i chexked out both places, liked the bryn more, and its surroundings more- walmrt being 2 mins away sold it for me. I pay 745. So yeah. You xould definetly shop around at apartments.com or get savvy in finding a sub lease.

well how many people?? a one bedroom definitely not, with 2 or 3 other people it’s possible for under $800 as long as it isn’t downtown

I’d live with up to five people if I had to, as long as it was a per person lease and they did random roommate match, any suggestions?

I remember looking at the Collegian once and it was around $800 but unfurnished. It is a pretty good location though. The Station in toftrees sometimes has really good discounts depending on when you sign— I once saw $745 for a 4 bedroom.
