Rent
Going from a fall/spring payment for dorms, be prepared for a monthly rent payment due.
Extra costs
Be prepared to pay for water, electricity, cable, and more.
Proximity to classes and parking
Living off campus may be closer/farther, which could lead to a change in gas and parking fees.
Quiet Hours
Off campus housing you no longer have to worry about hours you have to abide by a noise ordinance. You still have to be respectful of neighbors, but you won’t have an RA knocking on your door.
