If you are attending the University of Georgia and are debating whether you should live on or off campus, you should consider the benefits of living off campus. Here are just a few points to take into consideration.
Living Off Campus Provides More Housing Options
Living off campus in Athens, Georgia gives students and their parents more choices. There are apartment buildings, large homes, modern communities and other housing options. You have a wider array of choices to find a place to live that is conducive to your student’s goals and personality.
Larger Choice of Areas To Live
When you opt to live off campus, you open up new areas of the city. Most students still view living somewhere near campus as an asset due to travel time and costs.
There Are More Amenities Off Campus
Is it important that students and parents recognize that the student will likely spend more time at their off campus apartment than they may first realize. That means finding a space that has amenities like a community pool or other recreation opportunities is important. Off campus housing can also provide more privacy and a better atmosphere for studying.
A More Rounded College Experience
Many feel that living off campus offers students a more well-rounded, “real world” experience. Students can live where the campus is convenient but in a setting that provides more personal responsibility.
