On-Campus Living

If it’s your first time renting an apartment as a student, we know it can be both intimidating and confusing. Every property manager seems to have their own rules. But, at the end of the day, your opinion is what matters most! Renting an apartment is your decision to make and the team here at First Site is here to help you along the way!
 
Living on campus in an apartment instead of the dorms can save you thousands of dollars and gives you more freedom in your diet, budgeting, and activity.
