You don’t have to attend a university to live in a college town. The apartments in the area are for everyone. The local economy and culture are driven by the school and students, which means it’s a terrific area to find low rent, vintage clothing stores, and a vibrant cultural scene. Here are three benefits of living in a college town’s apartment complex.

Why You Should Consider Renting an Apartment in a College Town

1. Lower Cost of Living

One of the major perks of living in a college town is that your expenses will be cheaper. The area’s rent is low because college students spend much of their money on school, which means you can get some great deals on apartments. These towns also offer other financial perks, like well-stocked second hand stores, yard sales when students move out, and university research studies that may pay you to participate.

2. Thriving Music Scene

Most college towns have music venues, art galleries, and coffee shops that offer poetry nights. Popular bands that are on the radio come to college towns because of the young population, even though they usually wouldn’t go to a town of that size. 

3. Cultural Opportunities

Living near a college has its perks. Universities bring in speakers, authors, and scientists to speak on their campuses. It would be difficult to see these people somewhere other than a college town. These events are usually open to the public and are often inexpensive or free. Going to these events can help you improve and learn even though you’re not attending college.
