Step 1: Find your roomates

Fayetteville living has many options for the amount of individuals living together. From 1 bedroom studios to a 4 bedroom oasis select your roomates or fill out an application based on your preferences. Many apartment complexes will select roomates for you based on your living needs and wants so don't stress if you haven't found your perfect group yet!

Step 2: Pick your location

With so many different complexes it can be difficult to choose just one. Many students have preferences when it comes to miles to campus or beautiful scenery. If being within walking distance to campus is important, complexes like The YOUnion and The Vue may be the right choice for you! If proximity to campus is an issue with an apartment you fall in love with don't fret! Many apartment complexes have shuttles to campus or University of Arkansas bus stops nearby.

Step 3: Find your price range

Being a student comes with a hefty price tag and can become a big burden. Make sure you find a complex that fits your financial needs. Many complexes allow students to pay in increments through the month to allow for financial flexibility. Another important factor in cost is the amount of roomates you have. Generally more roomates can drive down the cost per individual.

Step 4: Choose your amenities

With so many options to choose from an important factor that can help you narrow down your options are the apartment's amenities. From dog runs to pools, and gyms to garages find your perfect fit for your living needs.

Step 5: Set your lease

Once you've chosen the perfect housing for you, find time to relax and feel content in your future home. Setting up your lease may require a cosigner, so make sure you get in contact with a parent or guardian who can help you with this step.

Final Takeaways
