<p>Where is cheap and relatively close to school?</p>
<p>I mean, I am General studies major so anyone know which side of the campus I will study in? </p>
<p>I tried doing residence hall but, they are full AND wants to put me in temporary housing..(livin like a bum wow!)</p>
<p>Help is appreciated..(I want to stay in campus!!dang!!)</p>
<p>What price range are you looking for? How close do you want to be?</p>
<p>General studies will be all over, but mainly on east campus.</p>
<p>If you want to stay on campus, I recommend it.
You can try to bug the reslife people to put you in a dorm on campus for Spring if somebody leaves, but you probably need to get on the waiting list as soon as possible. That happened in my dorm, though. A girl left to do study abroad or something, and a girl who lived off-campus in the fall was in my dorm in the spring. </p>
<p>I don't know much about off-campus housing, but I'll share what I know.
There are quite a few apartment/resort things off campus. They seem to be more expensive, but they offer a mealplan-esque thing, and lots of amenities like pools, workout rooms, laundry facilities, parking, shuttles to campus, et cetera.<br>
Lots of students also rent a house with three or four buddies. Then they have a kitchen and parking, but they might be far from campus, and they also have to worry about utilities, maintenance, et cetera. But you probably get your own room that way. Important: there is a housing ordinance in the works here that will disallow more than two people unrelated to each other to live in the same house. It seems really dumb to me, and I don't know if it passed or even if we voted on it yet, but there's MASSIVE opposition to it among the students, as you can imagine. Before buying/renting a house with a few friends, you might want to see if the ordinance passes.<br>
There are also traditional apartments. Some are closer to campus than others, and I don't really know which ones are best, but I would imagine that cost goes up as you get closer to campus.
Hope that helps!
Thanks and gig 'em!</p>
<p>THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION</p>
<p>The reason i asked this was because the reslife.edu said that i will be held in study rooms until space opens up. the website said that it will take 3 or more weeks for this to happen. if so how much would i be paying? same price everybody else in that dorm does?</p>
<p>should i even apply for on campus housing? i mean i prefer staying in campus..</p>
<p>THANKS AGAIN</p>
<p>Hmm... I really have no idea about some of this stuff.</p>
<p>What dorm are you requesting?<br>
It really depends on whether getting to stay on campus the first semester (and possibly the second) is worth possibly staying in "temporary housing" for a few weeks, or even the whole semester.<br>
I live on campus, and I love it. It saves so much time not to have to drive to campus. I can literally roll out of bed, put in my contacts, tug some clothes on, and walk to class. (I once made it to an 8:00am lab practical exam after oversleeping and waking up at 7:54... that's living on-campus for you.) I also feel a lot more connected to Texas A&M. But you'll have to decide how much you want to live on campus, and how likely it is that you'll get the space you want, and all that.
Here's a page about it: On</a> Campus Living FAQs - Temporary Housing Assignments</p>
<p>The phone number for the housing assignments office is 979-845-4744. They should answer any questions you have about costs and whatnot; they really kind of owe you that. I have no idea about costs, so you'll have to ask them. If they can't answer your question at that number, they should be able to transfer you to someone who can.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
