5 Relocating tips for CRNA school

Hey friends,

Welcome to todays newsletter! Today I'll be discussing tips on relocating for CRNA school, let's dive in!

You have been selected for an interview ✅
Showcased your qualifications during the interview ✅
Got the acceptance letter to your top schools ✅
Which area should I consider for attending school? 🤔

1. Consider Proximity to Campus: Identify areas that are close to the campus. Consider the convenience of commuting and explore neighborhoods within a reasonable distance to minimize travel time.

2. Utilize the University's zip code to navigate Zillow: I allowed Zillow to send me email updates whenever new or available properties within my school's zip code became available. One day I woke up and saw an apartment I was interested in, I quickly called the property manager and I became the first person to apply. I placed a deposit and secured an apartment in a location that is both safe and affordable. Plan ahead and start early.

3. Budget Planning: Assess your budget for living expenses, including rent, utilities, transportation, food, gym, wifi costs. Determine a realistic budget to guide your search for affordable housing. In addition, I suggest checking whether your bank has a branch in your new location. I've changed banks frequently during my travel assignments because certain banks/branches found in the northeastern part of the country are not present in the west or south coast and those ATM fees add up!

4. Explore Student Housing Options: Check if the university offers on-campus housing. The admissions office may also recommended neighborhoods, housing resources, and any assistance they can provide to incoming students.
If not, research popular off-campus housing options preferred by previous students, considering factors like safety and proximity.

5. Connect with Current Students: Reach out to current students at the university through social media or forums. They can offer firsthand experiences and recommendations regarding living areas for students.
