Any hidden expenses / things to consider for off campus?


How much money a week on groceries?

If rent for room is 400$ , will that be the constant price. Will I have a contract.

Depends.. you can find a place that has internet + utilities included, then there should be no additional costs

Internet you usually have to set up yourself when you get there. Check to see if utilities (water electric gas) are included. Some homes have their washmachines/dryers as coin op

Most if not all houses have a lease you have to sign for the 12 months you'll be living there. Each month will be the same amount and will never change until your lease is up. The lease will say in utilities are included in this cost or not. If not then your house will split on water, gas, internet and cable (if you have it). Also, for groceries it depends on how much you eat. I would say anywhere between 50-100$ a week depending on where you shop and how much you eat! Hope this helps!

Actually now since its summer its more likely you will find a 9 or 8 month lease, so its even better!

The closer it gets to school year the better the contracts get but the rooms may not be to be ur liking
