Living on NG is overrated
I lived on NG for 2 years and I wish I didn't. I did not have car and would rely heavily on the bus and my friends for rides. This is MY experience. (obvi everyone's is not going to be the same)
Now that I have graduated, I realize just how much money I wasted. The cons outweigh the pros for me. Pros: close-ish to campus, close to the bars, lots of food options. Cons: lots of construction (the construction would literally disrupt my sleep), over-priced asf, lots of traffic when you're driving anywhere.
I wish I lived somewhere cheaper. NG is also not close to West Campus. I am glad I no longer live there cause there's been a significant increase in rent at most places. $900 is like the cheaper side (which is insane)
For any Aggies who are looking at the NG area for apartments. PLS do your research.
