Where to live the student?

So, you finally found himself enrolled in the list, and excitement about the "will do - will do is not" behind. Congratulations! If the university to which you have adopted, is just across the street from the house or do you have unlimited travel, the more I congratulate you. But those who go to study in a nearby town, and often not in the next, and the miles that way for 600 - 1000 from the parent nest, you need to solve another important question: where to live? There are many options.

First, the most likely - a hostel.

Where to look?

As dean of the institution. The most common is giving a statement to the selection committee, prospective students make a mark about whether or not they need in a hostel. If such an item in the statement was not, go to the dean's office, preferably prior to enrollment, and ask you to settle in a hostel. As a general rule, an order to provide space in the hostel, along with an order issued on enrollment. But now that happiness is not available to all and not all universities. It is possible that the seats will be few and distribute them in the first place, between the privileged and the students who came from the most remote areas. If you get into one of these categories - there is a sense of struggle.

Pros.

First, definitely, the price issue. Typically, the cost of living in a hostel is purely symbolic. In addition, the classes will not need to travel in transport (besides savings!), Time on the road will go for about five minutes, which means you can sleep more, which is important for a student!

Second, communication, communication, and fellowship again! New acquaintances and friends, which in most cases, remain for life! Back in the dorm living, senior students who have passed any one session, met with the habits of teachers and have gained a whole pile of notes. Their valuable advice sometimes makes life easier for beginners.

To prepare for seminars and exams are much more fun when the same number of gnawing science granite, a pair of excellent student and future graduate, passed all the tests study.

Third, together with roommates easier to solve everyday problems. You can chip in for food, clean room at a time, together to make repairs, buy a purse refrigerator (if it is not in the room).

Lows.

It is not always the conditions in the dormitories elegant. It may be a shower for a five-story, dilapidated furniture in the room and the kitchen will have to share with cockroaches.

His living space is necessary with someone to share. And there is a risk with someone that does not come together by the characters that essentially poisons the happy student life.

Inconvenience can bring neighbors, celebrating each day of the week. And if you said, it will interfere with the neighbors, requiring silence.

Will comply with the rules of residence. This means that there is a risk to spend the night on the street, returning from a night club or even a job. Or even left without shelter, in the case of gross violations.

Tips experienced.

Make friends with your neighbors, not only the room, but also on the floor. This almost guarantees support in everything lend a chair at the feast, the lecture will be rewritten, feed, and be invited to watch TV, if you do not. Sam also did not withhold assistance.

Make friends with the janitor. Useful if you mess things up is delayed or something bad. And if the male or female dorm, the friendship with the janitor is indispensable if you want to invite guests of the opposite sex.

Be respectful of others. Do not take me many things, because if they have no place in the overall cabinet. Did not hold the plate for five hours a day. Not invite a noisy crowd, if roommates do or sleep.

The second option - staying with relatives.

Where to look?

Search is usually required. Cases where the parents choose for their children of the university in a city where there are relatives, are common. It is possible that the very good cousin aunt asked you to stay with her at the time of study. She - more fun to you - cheaper and more comfortable.

Pros.

Native people did better than strangers roommates. In addition, the comfort of home, food, and perhaps even a little extra money when you need to be provided. And the regime, as the hostel will not be. If relatives democratic, then we can have fun at the club and up to three nights, and the second half of the guests to invite.

Lows.

Even for the happily agreed to take your aunt you will be new and unfamiliar person in her home. And from this experience will be uncomfortable, not only that, but you are. If you have not seen the last 10 years, it will only intensify. Chances are good that get along well and did not succeed. And a democracy, too, can not always be hope.

Tips experienced.

If, as was mentioned above, you are familiar with the family is small, it is better to look at other options. Yes, and close friends for a long time try not to strain their presence. In short, living with my aunt is better viewed as temporary, so as not to spoil the family relationships. As would be good to you nor treated, stress-free is not enough. Better provedyvay relatives on weekends. A great chance to eat homemade food, rest, well, to strengthen family ties, but do not spoil.

The third variant - rent a room.

Where to look?

For ads on poles, in the newspapers, with the help of estate agents on the Internet. Still, some owners leave sentry posts at the entrance to the university.

Pros.

Again, comfort and close to home furnishings. Ability to arrange your life according to its own wishes and tastes. No one will stop to prepare for seminars and exams and relax.

Lows.

It is much more expensive than a hostel. In addition, it is necessary with living masters, who are almost always substantially restrict freedom. Chances are, you can not play loud music late to go back and bring guests. Do not eliminate extra questions about where you go, that cook, who your parents, etc.

Tips experienced.

When viewing options in the first place, pay attention to the owners, as long as they are arranged, and in a room and can make repairs and bring the furniture. Just discuss all conditions that can, which is not. Do not be shy to voice their demands for housing, in the end, you pay for it. Just do not be afraid to stop all attempts to get into your personal life.

The fourth option - rent an apartment.

Where to look?

In the same place and the room: on ads and using real estate agents.

Pros.

Obvious. Complete freedom and independence. More and add nothing, everything is clear.

Lows.

Such pleasure is not accessible to all, especially if the university in a major city, where rent is sometimes middle management salaries. It may be that to find an apartment near the university fails, so will have to spend money on travel.

Tips experienced.

Try to start searching for home early, then there is a high probability to find a version without middlemen and save a decent amount. Carefully check the hosts documents confirming their right to rent this apartment to rent, be sure to fasten the transaction documents: concluding the contract or take the receipt. Negotiate with the owners of the terms of payment and the days when they can come into the apartment. Well, try not to get too carried away by student parties, the neighbors always complain, and you have to look for new housing.

And the fifth option - renting an apartment with friends, acquaintances, or just wanting to be the same.

Where to look?

In order, where to find the proper apartment, everything is clear. The question neighbors. If you have interested friends, it's good. And if they do not, look for the Internet. Most people are looking for partners to the tenants there. Incidentally, in the ads at once indicate the age and occupation, as well as suggestions for your co-housing. So the probability of finding a neighbor with whom'll go well, great.

Pros.

Again, a comfortable living conditions and lack of treatment. In addition, there is no owners, who will always push their presence. Well, the neighbors, as in a dormitory, it can become good friends, so it will not be bored.

Lows.

Again, the price. But still, it's cheaper than paying one. But then again, not the fact that you live near the university, and so will the extra travel costs. Yes, and conflicts with its neighbors are quite possible.

Tips experienced.

If you want to live with close friends, you'd better give up the idea. Not a broken friendship on the basis of the monetary and domestic turmoil. Strangers is easier to make a complaint about the lack of a clean desk or noise at night.

Speak all the details in advance. Just decide how will be cleaned, how do you eat: together or separately, when you can invite guests and other issues.

And if you can, then remove at least a two-room apartment. The hostel can go on a visit to the neighbors, a change of scenery and a break from the constant roommates. The studio apartment that possibility will not, on this occasion to begin a quarrel, which no one needs.

Finally, add that the student will certainly leave a lot of vivid memories, sometimes the best in life. Therefore, choosing a house, think, first of all, how you want them to. The best option would be one that will feel as free as possible and provide an opportunity to have fun, without compromising the core business, ie the study. You still want to successfully complete the institute, is not it?
