* In the above table cost per person for a 3 bedroom student apartment in Rochester is cheaper compared to the cost of our shared student housing. However this price does not include the cost of furniture which can be a significant initial investment. It also does not include a monthly cleaning of the common areas or any of the other services we include in most of our shared housing properties. Furthermore with your own 3 bedroom setup, you are dependent on your roommates; if they do not pay you could be stuck with bill. As a roommate of Roc Rooms & Rentals you will never pay more than the agreed upon rent, whether the other roommates are paying or not.
The Experience
Studio Apartment
Depending on your priorities and budget a studio apartment can be your best situation. You will have the privacy and the convenience of living alone. If your personality is better suited to having your own space, getting your own apartment is probably best.
Multiple Bedroom Apartment
The advantage of getting your own apartment over our shared student housing is you can choose your own roommates. If you have a group of friends you can completely trust than this may be the best way to go. However, it is possible to have a group of friends move into one of our units where you can take advantage of the services we offer.
Roc Rooms & Rentals Shared Housing
For the majority of students shared housing will prove to be the optimal
situation. From the moment you start the process, you will notice that most of
the work has already been completed for you. The utilities are all setup, the
furniture is already purchased, delivered, and in place.
Dishes and utensils are available and ready for your use. The property is
clean and any problems have been remitted. The wireless internet and network
are setup and ready to go.
There is a 24 hour service available to you, if you have any problems with the house or any concerns about your roommates. It is in our lease and we will enforce a cleanliness policy, a noise policy, and a guest policy, that is fair to all of the roommates in the house. You will also have the convenience of having to pay one bill for rent and all utilties. We even have a service where you can pay that bill online.
You will also have the opportunity to meet new students from your school here in Rochester. If you start the process early enough we will do our best to match you with students who share common interests and studies.
When education is your top priority there is no comparison when it comes to what we offer. It is our mission to serve the student and make your life easier. We believe in this and our motivated to provide this quality service.
