Getting a new hostel can be frustrating at times. As you don’t get to get one with all the specifications you want. My experience in the student estate management sector has made me realize that you can’t get a house with all the specifications you want, no matter how much you try. But a house with 4 or 5 of these features will go a long way to making you comfortable as well as saving you some costs. Here are some features you should check when next you are getting a new hostel off campus.
1. Ceiling fan
A house with a ceiling fan will save you a lot of cost on buying a standing fan that sells for around #4000.
2. Kitchen cabinet
This will make your kitchen look nice and well arranged. Saving you the stress of thinking about where to put what.
3. A good water system
A house with a good water system will help you do many things easily like flushing the closet, washing cloth and ditches and other cleaning activities. As house without this can scare you of using the toilet.
4. Tiles
A well tiled apartment will save you the cost of getting a carpet or rug
5. Wardrobe
Like kitchen cabinet, a wardrobe will also make your room look neater and well-arranged as most of your luggage can be stored in it.
6. Iron door
Most student environment will be characterized by high stealing rate, a house with an iron door will save you from being a victim
7. Fence/security
This will also save you from being a victim of theft
8. And of course, Electricity
The sad thing about most rents is that they don’t have good electricity. Probably their line has been disconnected or they don’t have electricity from the onset. But you should look for a house with good electricity, especially those with prepaid meter, this will save you cost, time and the stress of having to go to school or to a friend’s house before you can use electricity.
