...the apartment searcher

Searching for apartments is a very tricky process. It is strictly first come first serve, which leaves you with the tough choice of whether or not to immediately take the first apartment you like or to continue looking. There are so many strict rules to follow:

--Who are you going to live with?
--How much is the apartment? 
--What is included in the rent (water, sewer, trash, heat, cable, internet, electricity, gas)?
--Is there off street parking?
--Are the bedrooms big enough?
--How many bathrooms in comparison to bedrooms are there?
--Is there central air or window air conditioning units?
--Is there a washer/dryer?
--Is there a balcony/deck/back yard?
--How far from campus is this apartment?
--Is it in a (somewhat) safe part of town?

It is an extremely stressful process! So good luck to those who are looking!
