Transfer Student Looking For Housing for The Upcoming Fall Term
Hi,
I am an upcoming transfer student at Mizzou from a Missouri community college who spent some time away from college to join a program out of state. Because of that, coordinating housing has been difficult timing wise due to the fact I’ll be in this program till early June and have been pretty busy with it.
As a transfer student I understand I will have to find off campus housing and have done lots of research trying to figure out my best option. I thought I might as well try to find somewhere that could give me advice from those more familiar with housing.
I am trying to find a place that is walkable to campus and furnished. I also wanted something that was somewhat social and friendly because I’d like to make friends. But I’m not really interested in partying or those kinds of environments.
I emailed Univeristy Place apartments and they said they were filling up fast and expect to be fully filled by June. I’m not sure if that’s a good choice or not considering how late I’d be in that cycle. I’m also not sure how much control I’d have over their roommate matching at this point either.
Speaking of which I’ve also been trying to look for a roommate. I’ve looked for housing and roommates via all sorts of sources online. I’ve thought about sublets but a lot of them are only for the summer and I’m not really sure if that’s what I want anyway.
More than anything I’m just looking for advice on what I should do in this situation and what would be my best options to move forward.
Thanks!
