Nancy Thompson, from the Texas A&M Off Campus Center, talked about finding a place to live off campus, dealing with leases and choosing roommates to approxi mately 50 students in a presentation titled “Making the Transition.” The Off Campus Center is a good place to start finding information on roommates and apartments, and it's often an untapped resource, Thompson said. Locator services also are good Mmrces of information on available apartments, she said. “You’ve got to be careful, because sdtne locator services are free of charge and some are not, but gener ally) locator services are very, very helpful,” she said. “You can give them specifics about what you want in an apartment and they can pro vide you with a list of places they think would suit your needs. “Things to keep in mind are the number of bedrooms you want, the number of people living in the apartment and the location to camp us.” A little research can help a stu dent make the final decision about where to live. make sure you get everythin writing and on the lease belort sign it,” Thompson said. “Walk around the complex and talk to people already Living there,” she said. “Ask them about the man agement, the condition of the apart ment and grounds and about the re pairs they’ve needed. Also, it’s a good idea to look in the Off Campus Center and see if anyone’s registered any complaints about the complex before you sign a lease. The lease is a legally binding tract between you and your lor d, hut also between you and roommates, so you wanUopm of thought into who youTegoi live with before you signaleast said. “Keep a copy of your lease and your apartment condition inventory form, and also all repair requests in writing so the landlord can’t mistak- ingly blame you for something you didn’t do - that can sometimes lead to the management reporting you as a had credit risk.” “The important thing to remem ber about a lease is that it is a legally binding contract,” she said. “Usually, two roommates out better than three or four are just fewer things to about,” Thompson said. Things to keep in mind choosing a roommate include habits, cleanliness, spending and security consciousness,snes “Some of those things mat kind of tri vial, but whenyouli pav an outrageous electricityt cause your roommate never the lights off, it blows up intoi portant issue," she said. “Promises made by management - like for new carpeting in the apart ment by the time you move in - don’t always come through so you want to “d ry to find a roommate signing a lease any where," sb ampus Center service th Iso alter tht mer conferences there are people who need roommates. 1 1. “The Off C roommate referral he very helpful; White separatist defends viewpoint during sedition trial FORT SMITH, Ark.
