* 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. The furniture cost is averaged out over a 2 year lease. 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 RocRooms you are only responsible for your portion of the rent, whether the your 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.
Traditional Multiple Bedroom Apartment
There is no real advantage to getting your own apartment over a RocRooms apartment. You will also be missing out on our availability and readiness to serve you. We are driven to ensure your satisfaction, this cannot be said of most landlords and proeprty managers. Long delays on repairs could ruin an otherwise pleasent housing experience.
RocRooms Housing

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.

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.
