When looking for an off campus living space, you should have an idea of what you want in the apartment. I talked to a few students and came up with a list of amenities that are desired when looking for off campus housing in Frostburg.
1. Furniture- A lot of students do not want to buy furniture because it could get expensive and it has to be hauled off eventually. Finding a fully furnished apartment isn't hard, but the furniture could be a little suspect, so it has to be cleaned before it's used.
2. Washer/Dryer- When living in the dorms students have the luxury of walking down the hall to do their laundry. Some off campus spaces do not have a washer and dryer in the unit, but there is probably a shared one in the basement that costs to use. Students desire an apartment that has a washer and dryer in the unit to avoid a hassle.
3. Storage Space- Nice sized closets are always good to have for those students who have a ton of clothes and shoes. Also, since students travel here from home, they have totes and suitcases that need to be put somewhere during there stay here. If the closets are small, it's likely that the students space will be cluttered because there would be nowhere to put anything.
These amenities are the ones that are valued the most. They aren't in any order because they are all equally desired. Having these items included in the rental save a lot of time, money, and space. Now that you have an idea of what to look for, good luck!
