How does off campus housing rent work?

<p>I am a transfer looking to room up of campus. Preferably at the view.</p>

<p>The prices for a 2 bedroom are around $900 a month. I was wondering is this per student or split up?</p>

<p>Per student I think</p>

<p>I think MV is correct because my daughter has friends that live there and they pay roughly $1000/month.</p>

<p>It’s per student. My son got a place at the View…4 bedroom, 4 bath. Everyone is paying about 900 per month EACH! Obviously it’s quite a racket these places have going on, but the convenience to the campus is awesome.</p>

<p>900 for ~9 months or even 12 doesn’t seem too bad once you look at the total over that time compared to a room on campus ($8100 or $10800 respectively). Considering “Room and Board” is estimated around $9900 that doesn’t seem too bad. Utilities are included, but you need to deal with the meal plan or go your own way in that regard.</p>

<p>I think after my first year I’ll be looking into the Varsity or something for sure.</p>

<p>They certainly are nicer than the dorms, but once you add in food it does get pricey. And yes, I think most leases are for 12 months.</p>

<p>Yes. It’s 12 “payments” for about 11 months of access to the apartments…Overall, I think it’s great for transfers who don’t get access to the dorms anyway. And at least for my kid, or anyone around engineering, it’s REALLY close to the classes.</p>

<p>I agree. As far as cost it will be about the same as staying on campus. Maybe a little more expensive but as a transfer i think this would definitely be best for me. </p>

<p>If anyone is looking to room up send me a message. Still looking for one other roommate. </p>
