Becoming a Man
Today I signed the lease for the apartment my sophomore year at Clemson. After deliberating with my future roommates for a while (Thomas McCutcheon, Allan Babcock, and Jackson Holder), we decided that Tillman Place would be the best fit for us.
Here are the perks of Tillman Place:
- High-Speed Wireless Internet Access
- Parking Space for Each Bedroom
- Full-Size Washer/Dryer
- Refrigerator/Ice Maker
- Dishwasher
- Stove/Oven
- Multiple Telephone and Cable Outlets
- Patio or Balcony with Storage
- 4-Bedroom Units have 2 Bathrooms (tub w/ showers) and 2 Double Sinks
- Breakfast Bar
- Community Pool
- Community Volleyball Court
- Exercise & Weight Room
- On CAT Bus Line
Because it’s only 1/2 mile away from Campus (by Monteray’s and Skins), I plan on riding my bike to class unless it’s raining. If that’s the case, I’ll drive to class and park in the Commuter spaces. It makes me chuckle when I think that the Commuter spaces in R-1 (“the pit”) are actually closer than I usually park in Aisle 10. Even better, the Commuter pass is half of the price!
If you’re curious as to the nitty-gritty details, here they are:
Rent: $1040/month ($260/person/month) w/o Utilities
NOTE: The Apartments on campus are $5900/person/semester ($590/person/month)
Unit Number: 631 (third floor)
Lease: August 15, 2010 – August 14, 2011
NOTE: Classes start August 18, 2010
Needless to say, I’m extremely excited about next semester. I knew that I wanted to live off campus since Clemson House was designated as freshman housing, but we really lucked into this place with everything that we could want. All I have to do is survive the rest of this year in my windowless jail cell…
