It’s a little nerve racking moving away for college. New city, completely different people and new things to do…it can be overwhelming. Finding your first apartment can be rough, too.

Personally, it’s always great to at least narrow down your list of possible places to live to about 2 to 3 different FAMU apartments. That way you don’t have to settle with one and feel any sort of regret if you only tour one place and sign with them. Touring up to three FAMU apartments is definitely better than touring 18 and much easier to help you select your number one. As long as you don’t sign any leases, you’re able to apply to an apartment to see if you’re approved but sometimes that requires a guarantor. A guarantor is someone who is most likely related to you that can help you apply for an apartment and guarantee that you’ll pay rent every month. Be mindful of who it is though – if you end up signing the lease and you’re late on rent one month, you’re at risk of lowering their credit score.
Some places won’t require a guarantor if you already make 2 to 3x the monthly rent. And in that case, you have no worries. If you’re a FAMU student, make a decent amount of money each month and get additional financial help from school, you’re set—but having a guarantor might still be your best option.
