Back when I first found out about the full time position, I began to research apartments for the fall. I wanted to get an idea about square footage, prices and what qualities I could expect in an apartment. I did not want to sign any leases without having the job be official, and I was browsing places before preleasing had even begun, so I decided to take a pause.
Suddenly it is actually time to find a place to live! I have had multiple students come in late/not come in at all because they are viewing places. This freaked me out, because I still haven't chosen a couple places, let alone arrange to go look at places or talk to the property management people!
My previous fear of signing a lease before the job being official still applies though! I know they have gone through the first step of screening applicants, but they still need to go through another round of cuts and have interviews. I may not be able to wait until I've signed papers for the job. On the 20th (in just 1 week!), preleasing switches from being a previous tenant right, to something that everyone can do. That means that the best apartments will be gone! Oy vey!
So, this weekend I am going to get things in motion for choosing a place. I hope I haven't waited too long! I better get this job....
