- Average rents range from $500 to $600 per month with a family.
- Students are expected to leave an additional $500 to $600 as security deposit–usually the equivalent of one month’s rent. This money is used to cover damage to property or to cover lost rent if a student moves before the agreed time period.
- Keep in mind that most landlords/ladies expect students to stay in their home at least one semester (4 months).
- Rules vary from home to home.
- Apartments may require a co-signer
- Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment may start at $1000 per month
- We suggest reading BestColleges.com Student Renter’s Guide when thinking about renting an apartment. Helpful Hints when Apartment searching:

- Some apartments require first & last month’s rent and a broker fee.
