To ease the stress, The Chronicle has compiled a list of tips to help you through the apartmenthunting process.

Find out if an apartment is affordable before you visit so you don’t get swept up in a home’s appealing features just to find it is out of your price range.

• Choose your location wisely.

Make sure to get a sense of the different neighborhoods before you start looking at apartments. Does being near downtown matter to you? How about being within walking distance to campus? If you don’t have a car, perhaps you’d like to be on a bus route?

• Count your deposits.

Keep track of the different deposits you will need to make for additional expenses like utilities and insurance to make sure they don’t push you over budget.

• Look presentable to the landlord.

Dress nicely and bring confidence to your first meeting; have a list of questions ready.

First impressions mean a lot.

• Get everything in writing.

This goes for your landlords and your roommates. Know exactly what you’re signing up for to avoid unwelcome surprises later.

• Choose roommates wisely.

Living off campus brings a whole new set of responsibilities like paying bills, buying groceries and cleaning the bathroom.

You want to live with someone who is dependable and doesn’t mind sharing the load.

• Purchase renters insurance.

Make sure your belongings are covered in case of an emergency.

• Inspect the apartment before you rent and after you move in.

Make a note of any problems in the apartment when you move in so they can be addressed right away. You don’t want to be charged for them later.

• Meet the neighbors.

Get to know the people you’ll be living near, so you have someone to keep an eye on things when you’re away or to help you if you get locked out. Also, ask how they feel about noise at night and on the weekends. You should always be respectful, but some neighbors are more sensitive than others.

• Don’t forget about parking.

Make sure you won’t be forced to park three blocks away. If you don’t have a car, live closer to campus. Maybe look for a roommate who has a car so you can steal a ride to and from campus if it’s pouring rain or late at night.

• Check the little things before you move in.

Find out where you can do laundry, make sure there are plenty of outlets, and find out about cell service and internet connection.

It’s easy to fall in love with an apartment’s look or low price, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

• Keep track.

Create a shared Google Doc to track roommate expenses so everyone has access to the information and there are no surprises.

5 tips to help you find the best renters insurance Renters insurance may seem expensive if you’re among the more than two-thirds of tenants who lack it. But it’s the best way to avoid losing thousands of dollars if you’re robbed or your apartment is damaged.

ew York apartment dweller Rose LichterMarck, 28, had to pay cash to replace all her furniture, housewares and books after a fire in her old building. Cleaning the smell of smoke out of her clothes cost another $2,000, because she didn’t have insurance, she said. Then she had to stay with friends until she found a new apartment. With insurance, the whole experience would have been less painful — and less expensive. A basic policy can be as little as 50 cents a day.

But many renters, mostly young adults, think — incorrectly — that their stuff isn’t worth enough to insure, according to Apartments. com, which found in 2010 that 70 percent of tenants don’t buy renters insurance.

Here are five steps to take if you’re considering renters insurance: • Inventory your possessions: Photograph everything you own to get a sense of how much it would cost to replace all your things.

While you’re at it, write down the serial numbers of all your electronic devices and appliances.

• Seek out discounts: Take note of any special safety precautions in your building that will earn you a break on your monthly premium. If you buy coverage from the same company that insures your car or provides you other types of coverage, that can earn you a multi-policy discount.

• Think about partying: If you like to entertain, renters insurance can be especially helpful. Most policies will offer your guests medical coverage, so if someone visiting your place slips and smacks his head on your kitchen counter, his trip to the emergency room will be covered.

• Choose replacement vs. actual value: Most insurers will cover either your belongings’ actual cash value or what it would cost to replace them. A cash value policy will be cheaper, but the payout for things you have to replace will be reduced by how much they’ve depreciated since you bought them.

Replacement-cost coverage will cover the cost of replacing your belongings new, now.

ϵϭϵ͘ϯϴϮ͘ϴϭϴϰ Ϯϲϭϲ ƌǁŝŶ ZŽĂĚ ͼ ƵƌŚĂŵ͕ EŽƌƚŚ ĂƌŽůŝŶĂ ϮϳϳϬϱ ǁǁǁ͘ůŽŌƐĂƚůĂŬĞǀŝĞǁ͘ĐŽŵ ůů ůĞĂƐĞŚŽůĚĞƌƐ ŵƵƐƚ ďĞ Ăƚ ůĞĂƐƚ Ϯϭ LJĞĂƌƐ ŽĨ ĂŐĞ͘

• Understand your policy’s limits: Basic renters insurance policies cap reimbursements. So be sure to buy the extra coverage you need for pricey items like jewelry, electronics and musical instruments.

Some people even carry riders against identity theft. But extra coverage adds up quickly so be clear about your priorities.

Tour the Hollows as construction continues on the new dorm

By Charles York | 02/19/2019 The Hollows dormitories are expected to be completed in July, said Dudley Willis, assistant director in the Office of Project Management.

The new residential space will house undergraduates and is located near Towerview Road on West Campus.

These pictures of the interior of the building are part of a mock-up room simulating what the rooms will look like. The building is still under construction and changes are still being made.

The Hollows is split into two different buildings—A and B. Each building will have different entry points and common rooms. Building B has a large common room in the elevated, glass-enclosed area.

Building A has a two-story common area with a kitchen and space for studying and community activities.

The mock-up room’s three bedrooms are arranged in a hall with two bathrooms.

The space between Edens quadrangle and The Hollows will be a green space with paths connecting the dorms. In the photo below, Keohane quadrangle can be seen on the left and Edens on the right.

Successfully navigating apartment waitlists If availability is over-estimated, those at the bottom of the waitlist may not get an apartment for the following school year.

Again, this is why it is important to apply early!

Y

ou’re a rising senior. Finally! After three years of on-campus living, you are ready to graduate to your own off-campus apartment.

You’ve perused the super handy housing guide in The Chronicle, and you’re pretty sure you’ve found the perfect place. Now what?

STEP 1: Contact the apartment administration (this information should be located on each apartment ad or on their website). Most apartment complexes require you to submit a rental application along with an application fee to be put on their waitlist. You will also have to put down a security deposit.

STEP 2: At some apartment complexes, you must now complete a “future resident profile” with your unit preferences, in order to be matched to your ideal apartment. You may also be required to fill out screening criteria forms at this time.

STEP 3: Once you have submitted all the required paperwork and fees, confirm with the apartment administration that everything has been received and that all the paperwork is in order (missing signatures can put a serious dent in your quest to land your own apartment).

STEP 4: Names are placed on waitlists in the order the application and fees are paid. The earlier they receive your application and fees, the higher your name will be on the list. Apply early!

Okay, you’ve applied to your dream offcampus apartment and they’ve notified you that you have been placed on the waitlist.

What does that mean? Are you guaranteed an apartment?

Unfortunately, being on a waitlist does not guarantee that you will be given an apartment or the apartment style that you want (although you do have a great shot).

Each year, an apartment will accept as many rental applications as they think they can accommodate. This estimate is based on annual turnover of apartments, and the demand can fluctuate from year-to-year.

STEP 5: Each apartment has a different timeline by which they will notify you if an apartment is available for you. Inquire with the apartment administration when you should expect to hear from them. If you do not hear from them after this date, make sure to follow up.

If you do make it on the waitlist, but then decide you don’t want to live there, simply contact the apartment administration and ask to be removed from the list. Unfortunately, application fees are typically non-refundable.

Some apartments have limited windows during which you can withdraw from their waitlist and be refunded the full amount of your security deposit. However, this is usually within the first few days.

A Eulogy for Central Campus

By Carley Lerner | 01/30/2019 As a first-year student at Duke, I was often warned (with distaste and a strange gravity) of life on Central Campus.

Sophomores would shake their heads disapprovingly at the mere mention of their housing, citing moldy apartments, broken faucets, and an irregular bus schedule that quite literally dictated every minute of their days, as proof of Central’s inadequacy. “The apartments are too old,” I would hear, “it’s in the middle of nowhere,” Central residents would shiver.

I’d shiver too, of course. The thought of forfeiting a 10-second walk to the bus stop, where one can always find a C1, a 45-second walk to Lilly Library, Marketplace, and Trinity Café, and a two-minute walk to a fully-equippedgym was simply unimaginable. Sure enough, as May rolled around and finals came to a welcome end, my friends and I tearfully parted with our freshmen dorms, mourning the loss of our quintessential college campus all the way through August.

But this is not a eulogy for East Campus. This is a declaration of surprise, an apology for my initial doubt, and sincere appreciation for the community that Central Campus has given me.

On a hot and sweaty day in August, I pulled into the parking lot of my new (but old-looking) Central Campus apartment, the car stuffed with clothing, school supplies, and all the little accumulations that I couldn’t bear to throw out at the end of my first year. I had just finished an eight-and-a-half-hour drive, and I was, simply put, in a mood. Yet, as I climbed out of the car and surveyed my surroundings, I was suddenly filled with a surge of excitement. In every direction, students were spiritedly reuniting with their friends, sitting in the grass and enjoying Durham’s summer, throwing footballs, and greeting everyone they passed. Unlike East Campus, where large dorms are spread out around a sprawling green quad, the Central Apartments are small and close together.

Some people may be turned off by this design, craving the

collegiate, picturesque landscape famed to East Campus.

However, as I stood on my balcony and spotted a close friend exiting her apartment two buildings over, Central radiated a sort of intimacy and hominess that made this second-year transition infinitely easier.

A major contributor to this sense of community and comfort is Thrive, the dining hall on Central Campus. Anyone who knows me can affirm that I embody the phrase “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Each morning, as I pull myself from bed with just enough time to grab breakfast before class, I am welcomed into Thrive by an array of familiar faces.

There is always someone to talk to or someone to meet, a closeness that is only enhanced by the fact that the incredible Thrive staff has memorized the names of almost every student on this campus. It may be a small comfort, but when my roommates have already left by the time I wake up and Apryl at Thrive is my first conversation of the day, it’s gratifying to know that that this small exchange will memorably impact both of our days.

All of this is not even to mention the wonderful nights that I have spent on Central Campus, sitting with an apartment full of friends, talking, laughing, and playing “What Do You Meme” well into the night. While I do recognize the importance of alone time, there is something even more profound to be said for a constant pool of people—whether they’re close friends or simply acquaintances—who can relate to, engage with, and support you at any hour of the day.

In the second (and last) semester of my life on Central Campus, I feel truly sad for the first years who will never have the opportunity to experience the community that I have been fortunate enough to live in this year. So, thank you, Central Campus, for giving me a home, catalyzing meaningful relationships with other members of the Duke community, and enabling me to live in a place that I am genuinely excited to return to every night.

Carley Lerner is a Trinity sophomore.
