Two-Bedroom Student Apartments Enhance Your College Experience

Once your time in the dorms is up, you’ve no doubt got your heart set on living it up in one of the cutest college rentals in Athens. You might even be tempted to shy away from having a roommate and live on your own. After all, you had almost zero personal space in the dorms. You shouldn’t completely rule out having a roommate and renting an apartment with two bedrooms, though. A two-bedroom rental in a prime location can totally elevate your experience on campus. And you still get your personal space and autonomy while keeping the company of another person—preferably one you like.

Two-Bedroom Apartments in Some of the Best Neighborhoods

It’s no secret that Athens is home to some great apartments for student renters. Our two-bedroom student rental homes are in some of the most popular areas of town. You’ll find the majority of our hard-to-beat apartments along Court Street, which is the main hub for the city of Athens. Generations of college students at Ohio University have deemed Court Street the place to be. It’s got plenty of the city’s best bars and restaurants, and there’s even boutique shops to stroll around. And it could be the location of a spacious rental home with two bedrooms for you and a roommate.

Court Street also happens to be right down the road from campus. Imagine waking up in a two-bedroom home that’s only a quick walk from campus, taking your time to get ready for the day, and making it to class in the morning with time to spare. It’s basically what every college student dreams of.

Student Homes with Two Bedrooms in Lowkey Locations Too

Is living large in the most popular part of town not your thing? We’ve got affordable student rentals with two bedrooms in areas that are much quieter than Court Street. For example, our two-bedroom off-campus rentals on Hocking Street are still close enough to campus, but they’re tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown.

These locations work out well for students looking to prioritize their study time. Or for those who would get too much stimulation out of living on Court Street. While it’s the area with the most to do in town, it stays happening on weekends and nights and could potentially pose a distraction.

Apartments for Rent with Two Huge Bedrooms Gives You Extra Personal Space and More

Some people love the dorms and others… not so much. No matter what your stance was, it’s easy to agree that it took some adjusting. Sharing a small space with another person (who you probably don’t know) is a stark departure from living at home. Thankfully, a two-bedroom university rental down the road from campus is a return to form. You get the social benefits of living with another person without all the awkwardness that comes with living in extra-close proximity to another person. Most apartments for two people feature big bedrooms that are perfect for escaping to when you need some you time.

Your bedroom is your space to decompress, study, and just do your thing without the potential for constant interruptions. You also learn greater independence by having to clean up and manage your living space. And then there’s the communication skills that come from living with another person, holding one another accountable, and completing chores and tasks around your two-bedroom home for rent.

Live with a Friend in a Student Apartment with Two Bedrooms

Arguably the most fun part of getting to live off campus is being able to shack up with one of your best friends. By now, you’ve made a handful of friends in classes or extracurriculars. You might even have a core group that you hang out with. And what better way to take those newfound friendships to the next level than by renting out a two-bedroom apartment with an incredible view of the city together?

Having your friend close by is invaluable. You’ll almost always have someone to talk to at home, and it makes coordinating plans with mutual friends way easier. Chances are, your time in a two bedroom apartment for rent close to Ohio University with your best friend will lead to some unforgettable memories. Just make sure that the two of you establish some ground rules first and have excellent communication.

Before Moving into Your Two-Bedroom Apartment, Assess Housemates Carefully

Just because they’re your good friends doesn’t mean they make good housemates or roommates. Ask some key questions before you rent a two-bedroom apartment with another person, whether in Athens, Columbus or somewhere else. For starters, you’ll need some assurance they have a reliable source of income, and that they can afford the monthly rent and utilities. Discuss the terms of the lease agreement, and be sure they’re willing to sign it and abide by the terms. It’s also important to discuss how you plan to divvy up responsibilities for cleaning and other chores in your Athens off campus housing. The same goes for your Columbus two-bedroom apartment.

Take Into Account Differences in Lifestyles

Don’t shortchange lifestyle issues. Be honest with each other and yourself. Say, for example, you don’t drink or smoke and your housemate likes to party. Or vice versa? Will that realistically work for you? What about pets? A housemate with a big, unruly dog may not be the best choice for a cat lover, for instance. Do you know their friends, and how many social activities they expect to conduct in the rental? If you prefer a quiet time to study or meditate in the evening, you may not want to find yourself suddenly at Ground Zero for Party Central (especially until the pandemic is completely behind us). By the same token, if you are the social type, it’s probably not a great idea to team up with a friend who prefers a quieter lifestyle. Sure, odd couples can make it work in some situations, but more often than not your hunch is correct – like-minded folks get along better for a reason.
