About this workshop
About the workshop—Renting a first apartment is
a big step for students. As they face the legal, personal, and academic
implications of living on their own, the University would like them to
consider all the critical aspects and make their decision based on educated
choices. Parents can help their students think about the steps required
to carefully consider what to look for in roommates, in an apartment,
in signing legal documents, and in becoming a responsible community member.
This workshop will address talking points that parents might want to discuss
with their students.
