Off-campus living lessons learned ear
□ The Office of Student
Life Programs offers
help to students for
signing leases and pre
venting roommate
problems.
By Courtney Walker
The Battalion
Starting early and asking
nnd are the keys to getting a
partments for the
lan, zv&M specialists said.
Victor Romero, lease special
ist for the Office of Student Life
Programs, suggested that stu
dents visit apartments person
ally and ask residents if they
like living there and if the man
agement is good.
Students have many things
to consider when looking for the
ideal apartment. Apartment
features to look for include
proximity to campus, safety,
living environment and cost.
Dr. Joyce Cavanagh, a family
economics specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, said students need to decide
what meets their personal re
quirements and pockfJLook be
fore looking for an apartment.
Kristy Cook, a junior elemen
tary education major, said she
contacted a former A&M student
and asked for a list of ten reason
able apartment complexes, then
narrowed down the list to her in
dividual preferences.
However, some students may
need professional assistance,
which is available on campus.
The Office of Student Life
Programs has price lists, a
roommate referral
service,Bryan and College Sta
tion maps, survival guide cata
logs, roommate contracts and
an availability board of local
apartments that is updated
every three weeks.
Romero said a new program
called Rent Lines will be avail
able by the end of the semester.
The 24-hour phone line al
lows people to add their vacan
cies on a list. Students looking
for available apartments can
call to get names and phone
numbers from the phone line.
Cavanagh said signing leas
es can be another problem
when renting a new apartment.
A common problem associat
ed with lease signing is when
one roommate moves out before
the lease is up and leaves the
other one with rent payments.
“I don’t recommend one per
son signing a lease because if
one leaves the other is stuck,”
Cavanagh said. “But if both
roommates sign, then the one
leaving is responsible for find
ing a replacement or paying
their part of the lease.”
Romero said another idea for
preventing conflicts is a room
mate contract, which is avail
able in the Office of Student
Life Programs.
The contract covers
arate shopping trips
will be paid, overnight
rules and study hours,
“They are just things
mates do not usually
about until the moment,
saves everyone a lot of
frustration,” Romero said,

“The most importanttl

□ The University Police Depart
ment offers phone lines for
campus safety, and the Corps
offers an escort service for stu
dents walking across campus.

Becoming aware of crime on campus is a
way for students to prevent being victimized,
University Police Department officials said.
Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, with the UPD
Crime Prevention Unit, said campus crime
is something all students need to be aware
of, especially at the beginning and end of
the academic year.
It is at these times when the theft of bicy
cles, backpacks and books is at its highest,
Kretzschmar said.
The majority of thefts are opportunity
crimes, he said, because students leave them
selves open to be victimized, and criminals
take that opportunity.
Students often leave personal items un
attended while moving in. Belongings
should be supervised if they are in a car,
on a sidewalk or in a yard. Leaving items
in the open for any length of time, gives
thieves an opportunity to strike.
Though theft is highest at the beginning of
the semester, incidents continue often in Sep
tember and October.
Students often leave bikes unlocked and
books, purses and backpacks unattended. The
library is a perfect place to be a target for
crime. Students may leave to get books and
return to find their belongings missing, Kret
zschmar said.
Students also should keep doors and win
dows locked, he suggested.
Students usually are not
well acquainted with
neighbors, especially at
the beginning of the se
mester, and should
not take for granted
that they can be
trusted.
It is a good
idea to keep
doors locked,
he said, even if
just taking a
quick journey
down the hall.
Another problem plaguing college campus
es across the nation is sexual assault.
Sgt. Betty Lemay, with the UPD Crime
Prevention Unit, said people should be
careful when walking across campus, espe
cially at night.
“Don’t isolate yourself from people,”

Lemay said. “Stay in well-lit areas,!:

The Corps of Cadets offers an era! pave
gram to students who wish to havelatf s byjp

Mike Daniels, a junior in the Coif
the Corps Guard Room has escortsoi
24 hours a day to accompanysta
across campus.
“On weekends, there are general
people that call for escorts, thougli:
are usually no more than two or to
a night,” Daniels said. “I think a loti
dents just don’t know about it.”
Students can reach the guard n:
