How
to Afford Student Cottages
Now
that you have finally graduated from high school and getting to embark on the
journey of a lifetime at college, you need to find affordable student cottages
for you stay in while you are away from home. While you stayed at home with
you, did not have a care or clue in the world about paying rent and utilities
to keep a roof over your head; your parents took care of everything. Now that
you are finally going to be on your own, it is time for you to learn how to
live responsibly while you are going to college. One of the first tasks you
will learn as a grown up is how to afford student cottages.
If
you were awarded some scholarships, grants and loans to help offset the price
of your education, you are off to a good start. If you have opted not to stay
on campus because you feel you can find somewhere more affordable or you forgot
to turn in your housing information on time, relax. You can find affordable
student cottages by looking in the local newspaper, checking the memorandum
boards in the different halls of your campus for vacancies and people who are
seeking roommates is the first place you should look.
Keep
in mind that your scholarships and grant money will only go so far. You may
need to find additional sources for income so you can afford to live off
campus. You may want to consider pulling out a few loans or if you are not too
keen about going into debt, you can always find a work-study or part time job
on campus or in the city. There are always places that are looking to hire
college students, so finding a job should pose no problem.
You
need to be realistic about the amount of income you need to generate each month
in order for you to even consider the best student cottages. Most housing
companies will only consider your application if you make at least three times
the amount of rent that is being requested for a particular unit. Some places
may be willing to work with you. As long as you don't have any evictions or too
many negative marks on your credit report, you can find a place to call home.
Of course, since your previous tenancy was at home with your parents, this
should pose no challenge to you.
Be
on the lookout for roommates. If you find that you don't have enough time to
find appropriate student cottages or you are not quite ready or comfortable
with the thought of living alone, you should look at the classifieds for people
who are in search of roommates. You can find some really great student housing
facilities that were once behind your means to afford, is now affordable since
you will be splitting the rent and bills between a few other people. Once you
have found the perfect place to call home, you can settle in and get ready to
start focusing on your studies.
