bedroom ideas for college girls image
Would a typical 18 year old college student be able to afford an apartment in Austin?
Should I just get a room-mate instead?
Answer
It depends where you're willing to live. I've had apartments off of Cameron Road (Wildwood Apts) and off of Metric Blvd (Trails of Walnut Creek). Both of these were older apartments in what I considered to be safe areas and the cost was around $550 for a one bedroom.
Expect to pay 800-1200 for a one bedroom in newer apartments. The cost will rise as you go closer to downtown. A studio, sometimes hard to find, will knock a couple hundred dollars off.
Look at apartments.com and austin craigslist to get an idea of rental prices. Anywhere you look, check out the area in the day and night time and see what kind of vibe you get.
I've had a lot of roommates, some good, some bad. If faced with leasing alongside someone I didn't know, I would find the cheapest, safest place on my own I could afford. Remember you're just as responsible for lease and damages should they bail or wreck havoc. Bad credit will mess you up.
The benefit, of course, to having a reliable roommate is that not all of your money is tied up in rent. Leaving you money to go do things or just not stress about making rent each month.

How to invite a girl over to apartment to hang out with nothing to do?
FSBB
I am a college sophomore. I live in a dorm room like everyone else, but at my school, sophomores live in apartment style dorms, meaning we have a kitchen, bedroom, and main room.
It has a lot of space, but no furniture or things to do. All the school provided in this dorm was a desk and a desk chair for each person. I did buy a futon, a TV, and a stool to sit on when eating at the countertop (we have no table or anywhere to eat).
I want to invite this girl I like over, but I don't know. There is literally nothing to do. I was thinking we could cook food together (always fun with me haha), but there's nowhere to sit and eat. Like I said, I have one stool for the countertop. Or we could sit on the futon in the main room and watch TV or music videos or something, but my roommate has no friends so he doesn't leave ever and there's nowhere for him to go. he would be in the room. And of course, the bedroom has no light and the Wifi sucks in there.....we literally just sleep in there.
What are your thoughts? Should I still invite her over? What ideas do you have?
Answer
Get some furniture if you expect her to ever want to do that...
