editor's note
When you first decide to live off campus, it's a big decision. People say Lawrence is small, but it's also bigger than we give it credit for. There is a ridiculous amount of off-campus living options, and most of us aren't fully informed about where to live.
I lived in Ellsworth Hall my freshman and sophomore years but decided to live off campus my junior year. My three friends and I decided we wanted a four-bedroom apartment that was within walking distance of campus. After about two days of searching, we found one and have lived there ever since.
We were too lazy to move the next year, so we stayed despite not liking the place. We've had a lot of problems with our apartment, and its management hasn't lived up to our expectations, yet they increased our rent. They've told us five times that the porch light would get fixed, but we're still coming home in the dark. The dishwasher doesn't clean
our dishes, and we never got the washer and driver we were promised.
We all agreed it would have been nice to have an idea of the different apartments available and what we could have expected. My fellow staff and I put this apartment guide together with hopes that it would give you a great idea of all the off-campus living options available so that you're happy with your future home.
