skymama 37 #30 July 10, 2006 A hundred dollars a month is $1200 a year. It adds up! Go for it, and you'll have a great story someday of the conditions that you lived in when you were a poor student. I lived in the pits in married-student-housing at LSU and lived through it.

Nightingale 0 #31 July 10, 2006 Honestly, if you can afford it, go for the one bedroom. The biggest problem in apartments is storage space. Studio apartments are very tiny, and they look a lot smaller once you've got your stuff inside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #32 July 10, 2006 i'm with andrea on this... get the one bedroom.. i lived in a 40 sq.ft. apartment before and it was a 1 bedroom but might as well been a studio.. you'll like the extra space... even if you ust need a bed, tv, and some alobe time, the alone time will be enjoyed much better withought being cramped in one room... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,462 #40 July 10, 2006 Put up a platform bed if the ceiling is high enough; then you can have the sofa right under it, and a little more space. Kind of like having your own loft (I've always wanted a loft). If that won't work, there's always the futon. Just leave the sheets on it, and put something over it when you fold it up in the morning. I'd go for it in a heartbeat. Gas is not going to go down in price between now and winter. If it really sucks, then you can move, or tell us all about how awful it is on dz.com Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurch 0 #41 July 10, 2006 I have. It blows. Pick your neighborhood carefully. I've spent a significant portion of my adult life as an itinerant technical freak and road-nomad and have lived in a 1984 Ford Tempo, an '83 AMC eagle 2-door hatchback and a wide variety of one-room slum studios. In winter I found the nails sticking out of my window useful as additional freezer space since it was impossible to fit enough food in a freezer the size and shape of a lunchbox. Come home, stack the room-temp groceries in the corner, hang the frozen stuff out the window.... Expect chisel-marks on your doorframe, drunken hopeless neighbors occasionally assaulting you at random, loud "boomer" cars at all hours of the night and screaming family dramas from the type of people who try to fit an extended family of 36 plus a large dog in a stinking apartment roughly the same size as the average suburban backyard toolshed while the family breadwinner who can't afford enough space for his offspring without stacking them 5-deep cruises with his homies drinking 40's in a honda civic he can somehow afford to load down with chrome fender strips, neon ground effects, oversize chrome rims, useless spoilers designed in the shape of ass-backward bull's horns, stickers that say "powered by" or "type R" and those incredibly irritating 5 inch mufflers designed to piss off the largest numbers of people with the least effort.

d_squared431 0 #42 July 10, 2006 Studios aren't bad if you get the right layout. Usually gas,cable,and electric are included in your rent.

cloudseeker2001 0 #48 July 11, 2006 I used to live in a really cool studio apartment that was one big room with a bed that folded into the wall! It had raised ceilings and a nice fireplace! It was very cool and I had some great times there! The rent was only 275$ a month!

brierebecca 0 #50 July 11, 2006 I lived in one for a few months. It didn't really work out because it was an attic and I had serious roach problems from the second I moved in. If it's an attic loft space, be sure to ask about pest control. It was a little weird with overnight guests, because they were in the same room and all. The other thing I noticed is that I tended to do more things naked. Seriously. I don't really like to cook or eat naked, but in the mornings right after my shower I would make breakfast and eat naked because my kitchen was 2 feet away from my bed. Same thing with watching TV or reading on the couch. It's 10 feet away from the bed, so you kinda feel like you're always in your bedroom. So naked is somehow more comfortable. Just my experience.
