Why a 4-Bedroom Apartment Is a Great Choice for College Students
Individual Liability Leases—automatically split the rent and utilities four ways. The biggest advantage is straightforward: four roommates means each person pays significantly less than they would in a studio or 1-bedroom. With Individual Liability Leases, each of you are on a separate, individual lease agreement, making you responsible for only your portion of rent and utilities (even when there's a vacant bedroom!) For students managing tuition, groceries, and everything else, that monthly savings adds up fast. At Campustown, 4-bedroom units are close to campus, and start at $459 per bed*— making our apartments and townhomes some of the most affordable private bedroom options near Iowa State.
Flexible roommate options. At Campustown, you can choose who you live with, unlike a dorm where you're assigned a roommate. Moving in with friends from your major, your team, or your freshman floor means you're already comfortable with each other before you sign a lease. That can make day-to-day living easier. Don't have roommates in mind? Our expert leasing team provides roommate matching services at no additional charge.
We make sharing utilities easy. Your new 4 bedroom home comes with Internet included. For your other utilities—electricity, water, sewer, and natural gas (where applicable)—we make set-up and payment super easy! Campustown will conveniently manage utilities for you and your three roommates. That means no deposits, no setting up accounts under your name, and no manually splitting bills! Your utility charges will be managed through your Campustown rent account, making everything simpler and easier to track.
More space to spread out. Four bedrooms means everyone gets their own room to sleep, study, and decompress. You're not sharing a bedroom with anyone — just the common areas. For students who need a quiet space to focus but also want the social energy of living with others, it's a good balance.
A more social living experience. College is a time when a lot of people want to be around others. A 4-bedroom apartment makes it easy to have people over, study together, or just spend time in a shared space without having to coordinate plans. Your apartment becomes a natural meeting point for your friend group.
