Affordable off-campus Housing? (Columbia: apartments, transferring to, utilities)

[cjday62]

I'm a student transferring to USC next semester and am looking for an affordable place to live. I know the more roommates the lower the price for apartments an all and that is not a factor, just as long as I can afford it. Preferably below 400.

The cheapest place with a roommate would probably be Cornell Arms - with 1 roommate it would be below $400 including utilities. You would be hard pressed to find something below $400 a month without a roommate.

Are you looking to live right by campus? If not, that lowers your costs pretty quickly, though transportation does become an issue.

Yeah I don't mind living a little ways from campus. Like in cayce or west Columbia.

there are places by the fair grounds that are less than 400 if you want to stay by your self
