Interiors that enhance life...it's where you live, learn, play, work, and experience community.
1. Accessibility: When looking for a place to live as a grad student, one of the top concerns is the ability to get to and from campus as quickly and easily as possible. There are a few ways to achieve this, such as choosing a convenient location with options like nearby public transportation, bike-friendly trails, and walkable paths for students to travel to and from campus.
2. Community: The transition from undergraduate to graduate education marks a significant change; you are no longer just a student—you are a young professional in your mid-20s. Finding a sense of belonging is crucial for the mental well-being of graduate students who are juggling academic, professional, and personal challenges. Housing options that foster a sense of community, with incorporated spaces where residents can meet one another and connect with others going through similar difficulties, can help create that sense of belonging. Adding shared spaces for socializing and studying can further enhance this sense of community.
3. Amenities: Have you ever heard the term “bang for your buck”? When it comes to graduate students, they value getting the most for their money. This mindset applies when finding a place to live during graduate school, especially regarding the financial aspects of housing. When tailoring student housing to graduate students, there are several factors to consider, particularly how much they pay and what they receive in return. For example, amenities that enhance their living experience without financially burdening them as they pursue higher education can make a housing option much more attractive.
