Like many incoming D1's, I've had some trouble deciding where to live next year. I recently put down a $650 non-refundable deposit at an apartment (apt #2), but I was just notified that another apartment has become available (apt #1). Based on the apartments, which one would you choose? Living close to school seems very very very convenient to me!
Apartment #1
-Right across the street from the dental school, < 5 min walking
-20 min bus ride to grocery store
-Dental and med student housing only
-In-unit washer/dryer
-Rent is $744/mo all inclusive (heating, water, A/C, university internet, etc.)
Apartment #2
-20 minute bus ride from school --> 40 min total commute everyday
-Less than 10 min walk to grocery store
-Coin-op laundry in basement
-Rent is $685/mo all inclusive (heating, water, no A/C, xfinity internet)
