01
leasing & pricing
How does leasing work here?
You lease by the bedroom, not the whole unit. You sign for your room and your rent only, so you’re never on the hook for a roommate who bails.
What's included in my rent?
Every home is fully furnished with in-unit laundry and a full kitchen, and community amenities like the hammock garden, resort pool, fitness center, and study lounge come with your lease.
What is a rental installment?
The monthly rental installment is your monthly payment for rent. We do not prorate rent, rather you are charged a total rent amount for the lease term divided into equal installments. Rent is due on the 1st of each month.
02
Roommates
Can I pick my roommates?
Yes! Bring your whole group and we’ll place you together. Just send us your roommate preferences when you apply.
What if I don't know anyone at ETSU?
We match you with roommates based on how you actually live, so day one feels less like a gamble. Plenty of people come in solo and leave with their people.
What happens if a roommate moves out?
Because you lease by the bedroom, your lease and your rent are yours alone. A roommate leaving does not change what you owe.
03
getting around
How close is Student Commons to campus?
About half a mile (4 minute drive or 10 minute walk.) You can walk to class and skip the parking fight entirely.
Is there parking?
Yes, we offer parking on-site. With your car just outside, it is ready for you when you are ready for a weekend adventure or heading home for the holidays.
Is there a shuttle to campus?
Yes! We are on the BucShot route.
04
Apartments
Are the apartments furnished?
Yes. Every apartment comes with a modern furniture package in the living room and every bedroom. You can move in with a suitcase!
Does every bedroom have its own bathroom?
Yes. Every bedroom has a private bathroom and a walk-in closet. No schedule, no standoff.
Is laundry in the unit?
Yes, a full-size washer and dryer in every apartment. No shared laundry room, no quarters.
What is in the kitchen?
Our kitchens are full size and have all the standard appliances you need. Room to actually cook, not just microwave.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, property-wide high-speed Wi-Fi.
05
Pets & policies
Are pets allowed?
Yes, we’re pet friendly. Please contact the office to discuss pet fees and policies.
Is the building secure?
Yes. Controlled-access is provided to your unit and your bedroom.
How are maintenance requests handled?
Maintenance requests can be entered on the resident portal. We have a maintenance team onsite during business hours to assist with any issues. We do have an after hour on call service for emergencies.
Do I need renters insurance?
As a condition of our lease, we require all residents to carry building protection insurance ($100,000) for damage to the landlord’s property during the term of their lease. The good news is we take the hassle off your plate through an automatic Building Protection Fee enrollment. You pay the monthly premium together with rent but the fee does not cover your personal belongings. The policy does not cover any of your personal belongings, additional living expenses, or liability arising out of bodily injury or property damage to any third party. If you require any of this coverage, you should contact an insurance agent or insurance company of your choice and sign up for a renter’s insurance policy.
06
Applying & move-in
How do I apply?
You can apply online in a few minutes! It just holds your spot while you review your lease and coordinate with roommates, so there’s no reason to wait – get started today.
Will I need a guarantor?
Unless your income is greater than 2.5 times the rental installment or can qualify through our Leap Program, you will need a guarantor. A guarantor must meet the income requirements and credit qualifications. The guarantor is financially responsible and liable for the terms of the lease and rental installments.
