How does a college student pay for an apartment?

We Answered:

You pay for an apartment just like a non-college student. With a job or with money the folks give you. Just be sure you choose an apartment you can afford because money isn't miraculously going to fall from the sky for your utilities and stuff just because you are a college student. Since you already have the huge expense of a car payment, it may limit what you can afford. You may have to choose what is more important, housing or a car.

The money you get in student loans (5,500 a YEAR in federal Stafford loans a year as a dependent freshman - only half this is for the fall and the other half is for the spring) is limited and not always does it even cover all the costs of your tuition and fees (depending on how expensive the school is you attend and if your parents are willing to take out parent PLUS loans for you).

Also be aware your loan money won't be given to you until several weeks until AFTER the semester has already started, so you would have to have the money UP FRONT for utility and rent deposits before you get your aid. If you have any money left over after your tuition and fees are paid, then the school issues you the extra usually 4 weeks after the semester starts.

Sounds like you need to start saving now... or sell the car. If they ever do a study about who is the most likely person to drop out of college, I guarantee it's college students responsible for car payments.

Where's are good college student atmosphere apartments in Boston, MA?

We Answered:

Unfortunately nowhere in Boston is going to be cheap, especially in the student areas. Although these areas are all generally nice. I would say to live in Allston or Brighton. These neighborhoods are right near both Boston University and Boston College, are generally safe (lots of bars and stuff but just about all students or recent grads). Also good public transportation and stores and stuff like that. Brookline is also nice - a little more "upscale" and maybe a little quieter - fewer bars - but still a younger atmosphere and a really nice area. Also more expensive than Allston or Brighton. You could also try finding something in Cambridge as well.

Low income apartments for college student?

We Answered:

Are you an adult or an emancipated minor? Does your college have dorms? What is your monthly income? Whatever your answers are, I have never heard of free rent. Go to the Indianapolis Housing Authority website for more information.
