Living in your own home while going to college comes with more freedom to do things that you enjoy while still getting an education. However, there are some things that you should put at the top of your list to ensure that you budget for the month and maintain your home in the proper manner.
Written Details
From the time you move into ASU student housing off-campus, you need to get everything in writing. This includes the details of your lease, any fees that you need to pay and if you’re going to get them back, and any rules that you establish with your roommates if you choose to live with someone else.
Cleaning
You want to make sure you keep your home as clean as possible. When it’s time to renew your lease or move, you could get your deposit back from living in ASU student housing off-campus if everything is in the same condition as it was when you moved into the home. Cleaning on a schedule can also help to keep the environment a bit more comfortable for studying or for inviting friends and family over.
Safety
Your safety is important while living on your own. Try to walk with someone to your classes. If you drive, then lock your doors while driving and when you leave your car to go to your classes. Keep all of your entry doors locked as well as your windows. Consider putting additional lights outside your home so that you can see the exterior when it’s dark.
