That's always a tough one. I would say it is definitely an easier way to go and a cost saving one. I had a friend that lived just east of campus off of Comstock and it was a good location. Most places east and north (if I'm looking at the map and remembering back 10 years well enough, seemed nicer and like decent places to live). Dotty covered the questions to ask pretty well, I think.
Also, there are a lot of people selling furniture at the end of the school year and some again at the end of the summer as they are moving out and leaving the area. Tell him to keep an eye on Craigslits and posted around campus for the opportunity to get furniture at a good price.
Thanks so much, Tia! I missed this last night. He is looking just north of campus. It is a furnished apartment in a duplex in a neighborhood of student housing.
