Like last spring semester, some friends and I have decided to live in an off-campus apartment. It gives each of us so much more autonomy and is much cheaper than living in the on-campus dormitories. Last spring we subletted from some girls because we all came back from a semester abroad. I am really excited to be living in the same place all year this time around. It really gives the five of us some time to make it our own.
We are renting the top-floor apartment of this house; quite the beauty, considering other housing options in the Syracuse greater-campus neighborhoods. I am really psyched, for everything but paying the rent! I'll be living with my Freshman/Sophomore roommate Samantha, my junior year roommates Chelsea (while she is here in the fall) and Laura (she will be taking Chelsea's place after she graduates in the spring), and our good friend Megan.
I moved in June 1st and have been living in Syracuse while working at my summer job here in town. I have really loved being up near the campus in the summer. Everything is much more vibrant and warm in Syracuse during the summertime. So far I have been to "The Taste of Syracuse," where they showcased local restaurants, and the Greek Festival, where I filled up on Gyros. There is a fun bar scene to enjoy downtown, and everything seems a lot more fun when there aren't a ton of frat boys roaming around campus. So far, summer 2012 has been a lot of fun.
Here are some pictures of my place, all courtesy of my roommate Samantha Poccia:
We live on the top floor apartment; we also have roof access, which I quite enjoy
One half of our living room; I'm excited for the fireplace
The other half of our living room
The dining room area off the kitchen
Our (kind of) weirdly designed kitchen; the sink is on the other side
Our bathroom; thankfully it has all new fixtures - that puts my germaphobic tendencies at ease
My bedroom!
I don't even feel the need to repaint (although I can) because it already seems like me
