Off campus housing is a great choice for students who have already lived in the dorms, but would like to have a bit more privacy now that they're a bit older. Off campus housing is not for everyone, because it requires much more responisibility and self-discipline.
Every day items and expenses can add up very quickly and could easily make you exceed your monthly budget if the student is not careful.
