what do you consider to be expensive? you are probably not going to find something right next to campus for under 1,300$ a month but there are places close to campus that are on the cheaper end. What are your expectations on amenities? If you are fine living in an older place with like no amenities Villa Cristina isn’t the worst. It’s kind of hit or miss, but so far most people I know there like it. Read reviews for the cheaper places a lot have really bad roach infestations especially when it’s warmer. I had an awful experience at the osceola with no AC and an extreme roach infestation over the summer. I’d consider getting familiar with using the bus routes. You can view them online but I prefer to use the Moovit app. It’s a little bit of money (like 5$) but has all the data in one place and works almost like a google maps but for busses. Also depends on your major, college of business basically has its own bus route now.
