Most apartments are rented through an agency, although renting directly from the owner generally saves tenants a lot of money in agency fees.

Many apartments and studios do not have a private washer or dryer; instead; such facilities are prepared for the common use of all residents in the building.

Apartment Sharing

They may also contact the student affairs officer on campus to be paired with another student who is in search of a shared apartment.
