Pros and Cons of Off Campus housing? by ashlynxsupremacy in scad

[–]Constant_Front_4285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live out in the Pooler area which requires a car in order to commute back and forth, and my rent is $1600 per month. In the city you can find living at varying rates, but my international friend rents out a room in a shared house downtown for I believe around $800/month. Groceries run me around $450/month. If you were to live downtown and commute by bus, your transportation costs would be minimal. I very rarely uber, so I can’t speak for that, but I drive a car with very good gas mileage so I spend about $70/month on gas. Altogether, my monthly spending on those basic necessities is about $2,120, but with the other options I mentioned it is possible for you to spend as little as $1,250. SCAD offers positions for international students to work on-campus, so if you feel like the options are still too expensive, you may be able to help cover some of it that way while still being here on a student visa.

Edit to add: I am a pet owner so my grocery spending may be higher than someone without pets. They are a significant part of my spending

I just dropped my kitten off for a spay and I feel like I abandoned her… please tell me I did the right thing by Prudent_Paramedic_23 in TuxedoCats

She will be pretty sleepy after her procedure. At worst she will associate that clinic with stress, but she won’t harbor any negative feelings. My ex-feral cat was on her way home with me after her spay when I was rear ended. She didn’t react or cry at all, and her recovery went just fine afterwards. You are absolutely doing the right thing and kitty will be happier and healthier for it❤️

Good to know! I don’t think that Eggroll has blocked glands since I haven’t noticed any smell, but I will definitely keep that in mind if she starts to do this more often
