One of
the most memorable Capstone Conversations I attended was the Off Campus Housing
Conversation. I, along with one of my best friends, Miranda, were interested in
rooming together next school year, and we were not opposed to considering off
campus housing. We decided to attend, along with most of the people on our
floor, to see what options we had. I liked how they had representatives from
each off campus housing option associated with the university. It was really
helpful hearing the pros and cons of each housing option from people who live
there and have experienced everything first hand. After discussing our options,
Miranda and I decided that we would try and go for an apartment. Our favorite
place that we talked about was The Woodlands. We received a pamphlet for the
area and we really liked everything about it.
Another thing that I liked about the
conversations was how friendly the representatives were. They were very accommodating
and friendly, so it was not hard to talk to them. No one seemed to have
problems asking them questions, so none of us really felt too intimidated or
shy. There was such a nice, relaxed vibe in the room, so I did not mind sitting
there and did not feel restless like I often do after sitting for longer than
ten minutes at a time. They gave us a lot of tips and hints for living off
campus, along with personal likes and dislikes. Along with the information,
they gave us pamphlets and leaflets about each living facility so that we could
compare all of the options available to us.
What I really liked the most about
the off campus housing options, was that most of them allowed pets. Miranda and
I decided that if we got a pet, we would get a cat because we think they are
adorable. Plus, we think they are a little easier than dogs to take care of,
especially in an off campus apartment.
