<p>So I will be transferring to A&M next semester as a junior and have a few questions.</p>
<li><p>What are good apartments in the area ?</p></li>
<li><p>I was planing on getting a one bedroom one bath sense i dont really know anyone. Is this a bad idea?</p></li>
<li><p>Whats the best way to get to know other fellow aggies ?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You are going to have a hard time finding a one bedroom, one bath apartment that is relatively inexpensive. Most apartments/town houses only have floorplans for 2+ people, and the ones that do have single rooms available are usually more expensive. There are many good and new apartments in the area, so just try doing a google search for the Bryan/College Station area. I could help out if I knew more specifics, but there are so many different aspects of apartments (price range, floorplan, location from campus, furnished vs. non-furnished, extra amenitiies, etc.) that I’d just be giving you random apartment names… which would really be no help.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the best way to get to know others is to join a club or try and live with a random person.</p>
<p>Well i went up there this weekend and looked around and found a buch of places that look good now i just have to decide if I want to live alone or not. I would rather have my own space but im worried that if i do live alone i wont meet very many people sense i dont know anyone at A&M</p>
<p>That’s a risk you will have to decide on. Living with someone definitely improves your chances of meeting people, especially considering your roommate next year would have likely already attended A&M and built up a friend base that you can be introduced to. If you do decide to live alone, don’t worry you can still make friends. You just need to come in with your mind open, be very social in your classes and with random people, and try and join clubs so you can meet people with similar interests. Most of the students here are very kind, and have no problem opening up to new people. Just make sure you initiate the contact, because if you wait for others to you’ll find that often times they won’t.</p>
