amenities offered by your housing

happy to give up living area while
others want a larger room.

adjusted to budget by comparing
the best fit for individual
situations.
4. Comparing of apartments
and houses around the area.
One of the easiest ways to find the
lodging that fits a student’s needs

student’s next rental the best it can
be. For more tips on improving
