<p>I personally don't want a room mate to live with and find that an apartment suits me the best. I like people, just want to come home and have some time to myself without being bothered, i know it sounds anti social but that's what I want. My dad thinks that it would be too expensive and says that he will pay for what a dorm costs and I have to come up with the rest. I will be working this entire summer, would that be enough to make up the cost difference? what are your experiences with apartments near campus?</p>

<p>You’re welcome.</p>
<p>The most expensive dorm on campus is 2,502 a semester, so 5,004 for an academic year. Most off campus apartment places will only sign 9 or 12 month leases. Usually they somewhat compensate for the signing of a shorter lease by adding a charge to that so that it is only a little bit less than a 12 month lease. Your budget looks like it would be 420 dollars a month for a 12 month lease. I’m not sure how tough that’ll be that is somewhat nice and close to campus. Most places that I’ve heard about involve anywhere from 2-4 roomates, I haven’t really heard of too many peoples experiences with just a single rooming apartment.</p>
<p>This is probably a little bit more but it’s somewhat close

<p>I understand what you’re saying, sometime it is nice to come home and have that time. It’s hard to do in a dorm on campus since you are literally sharing the room. Are you sure you wouldn’t be alright with just sharing a common room with multiple people and then having your own room and door that closes to go to if needed?</p>
