Atlanta Apartments: Advice for Atlanta College Students

If you are planning to attend one of Atlanta's many universities or colleges, you will want to find a suitable apartment--a place where you can study, entertain, and feel at home.

It's a difficult transition. Students need to navigate a new city. They need to find a job. They usually need roommates. All while balancing a heavy college course load. Of course, if you are enrolled in one of Atlanta's prestigious universities, you are used to hard work and overcoming adversity. You understand the benefits of planning ahead. The chances of a successful college transition are significantly higher when you work with a business and individuals that can point you in the right direction.

If you already live in Atlanta, and have a comfortable feel for the numerous neighborhoods and people, you probably want a better selection of apartments, a selection that directly reflects your needs and price range.

And finally, if you have not yet decided which school to attend, numerous directories are available that will help you gain information and make the best decision. The city of Atlanta provides a comprehensive list of colleges for potential students. You can also research Atlanta's various neighborhoods, cultural life, and job opportunities by reading through the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

I began my freshman year living in a dorm. For some students, dorm life means friends, community, and growth. But for me--I lived in dorms throughout high school--I was ready to graduate to the next level of living. I needed my own apartment.

To do this, though, especially as a freshman, is difficult. First, you probably won't know too many people. So your chances of finding a worthwhile Atlanta apartment through friends are slim. Second, you probably won't have a stash of extra money waiting for you to use. And third, you'll probably be a little overwhelmed with college life in general. After all, it is an exciting, challenging, and important experience.

But like most complex situations, these problems can be resolved. All you need is a gameplan, determination, and guidance.

 

I spent my first semester adjusting to school. I got a job developing photographs, focused on my studies, and joined a variety of social circles. I also kept my eyes and ears open, looking for a good apartment.

I saved money through the semester. I made friends. I found resources that detailed available apartments. It was hard, arduous work. But by the time I began my sophomore year, I was where I wanted to be--I had my own apartment.

Today it's easier. But in other ways it’s more difficult. Students are faced with heavier course loads. That means more time studying and less time looking for apartments. Apartments are expensive. In Atlanta, it's important to rely on trustworthy information, information that will lead you to a suitable apartment, not one that's ready to fall down. And the student population has increased. Atlanta is experiencing tremendous economic growth. Families, professionals, and students move here for the high quality of living and numerous employment opportunities.

You can bypass these challenges by making smart decisions. To begin, follow the advice of the resources listed above. They are there to help you. From your research, contact a few businesses that can help you find an apartment. Apartment Finder is a trusted resource. They list properties by address, school, and nearby Military bases. And their publication can be found almost everywhere in Atlanta. Be sure to check grocery stores, drug stores, and cafes for the Apartment Finder magazine.

Good luck in your move to Atlanta. Hopefully this article's resources and advice will help you along.
