Living off campus boasts plenty of advantages. Many students choose this lifestyle to lead more private, economic, and free lives.
- Privacy
The beauty of off-campus rentals is genuinely having your own spaces. You do not have to share a communal bathroom, lounges, kitchens, walls, floors, or even hallways with hundreds of other students, and you will likely have a spacious room all to yourself! When you need quiet, your room can become a nap or study sanctuary for you to escape to; no need to go to the library late at night. - Costs
Opting in for off-campus housing also means you do not have to pay for expensive room and board or the campus amenities you likely will not even use. There will be no meal plan to worry about; you can choose the more affordable housing units and decide how many other students you live with to split up and further alleviate expenses. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is also available for students off campus. Rowan University will likely allocate a budget for rent, utilities, groceries, and other housing-related costs. - Heightened Independence
Guess what? You choose your living quarters with off-campus housing, not a lottery system. Having this choice means that you decide on the location, housing type, amenities, and everything else involved in living in and renting a property. You will, therefore, gain valuable skills that will prepare you for the real world, such as paying your own bills, finding renter’s insurance, cooking your own meals, and negotiating and reviewing contracts. There will also be no need to pack up and leave during school breaks or the end of the academic year! Not to mention, you will not have school housing policies, campus rules, or the feeling of being “watched” hanging over your head at all times.
In addition to these stellar benefits, Rowan University rentals are all located near any campus building you might need to visit! So, check out the rentals available here today before they all get booked!
