The Apartment Guide is back to give you more tips on living with roommates and searching
The Apartment Guide is back to give you more tips on living with roommates and searching for the perfect apartment. It is the busiest time of year to be house hunting because the weather is getting warmer and many leases are coming to an end in a few short months. Instead of crashing on a friend's couch or living in a place that doesn't feel quite like home, begin your research early and make sure that you'll love your new house or apartment.
Our roommates are usually the people we end up spending the most time with, so we want to make sure we are choosing people that we will enjoy being around. To do this, it's important to consider things like schedules, expenses and personal hygiene. After deciding on who you're going to live with, our article about taking noise and location into consideration can help you pick the perfect place. Living near parks and quiet areas can make a huge difference when choosing a location.
Landlords are beginning to feel an overwhelming increase in housing contracts and applications because like many college students, we have mastered the art of procrastination. Start thinking about your new place and then read our article about how to choose and what to consider when picking new roommates.
Living with roommates, housemates or floor mates is something that every college student should experience. We have all heard horror stories about crazy roommates, but if you take your time deciding who to live with and learning to be a considerate roommate, it's an experience you will never want to forget.
Luckily, the University Daily Kansan Advertising Staff will be hosting an Apartment Fest on April 10 to help students become knowledgeable about all of the housing options available to them. I advise you to start thinking about your new place if you haven't already because looking for your next apartment or house is never an easy task.

It's for the upcoming video game tournament this Saturday, a fundraising event for the sailing club. The club, exclusively financed by fundraisers, is trying to raise enough money to purchase three boats.
While the club has been borrowing boats from the KU Sailing Club, the Hawk Navy has been fundraising all year to become more independent.
"We want boats to call our own, under our own control, instead of working with people who already had boats," said Kyle Kaplan, sophomore naval ROTC officer candidate, from Wildwood, Fla.
Unlike KU Sailing Club, the Hawk Navy has a more military-oriented approach,

"It's nice when our freshmen get here, they are kind of scared to go out and do anything, their lives are more strict than other college students, being in the ROTC, and so it gives them a fun activity to do on the weekends in a relatively safe environment," Bishop said.
They are well on their way in fundraising with about $1,300 from previous events like chili feed and bake sales. They need

The Hawk Navy hopes to raise about $400 from the latest fundraiser. Participants can register by email at HawkNavyKU@gmail.com, and games cost $5 for GoldenEye 007 and $10 for Super Smash Bros Brawl and League of Legends.
"Being out in the water, catching a good wind, nothing quite compares to it. It's pretty awesome," Kaplan said.
For now, the club members eagerly await the day to go sailing in their own boats and compete in local sailing competitions.
