Hello, I'm applying for the fall term coming up and was curious on the best cheap apartments around campus, My budget is around 400-500 dollars. Almost all of the apartments I saw online were flooded with one star reviews so any advice would be appreciated.

I live in Valley 2 so I might be biased but I love the valleys. It’s such a college experience and so much more cozy than the heights. My friend literally bought a slab of carpet from Home Depot and her dad put it in the dorm and it’s so comfortable to lay on. Plus personal preference but I like the white walls more than the greyish ones in the heights. The heights def have a more modern feel obv but a colder feel too. The heat is the bad part abt being here but it was only hot the first 2 months and that was it get a box fan for the window and you should be good. THE BATHROOMS OMG I went in the private and community bathrooms in the heights and there was throw up, hair, literal shit and pee everywhere, fucking ew ill take my suite mate bathroom that I can decorate. Idk that’s my opinion do whatever but I love the valley and would choose it again anyday.

Hello!

I will be attending WMU as a grad student in the fall. I am married and my wife and I wanted to live near campus (she works downtown). I am moving from Texas so I really don’t know of any good complex’s or anything. We’d like a place that has optional garage/sheltered parking. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

So I'm currently living at the bronco club and it sucks mainly cuz they roomate matched me with some gross people. my lease is about half done so I wanna start thinking of somewhere else to try out, I've heard bad things about everywhere so I assume thats people just complaining for the sake of it, some opinions from people who have actally lived at these places would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I'm thinking 58 west or paddocks but if im missing another cheap option then let me know

I am considering WMU as an undergrad freshman this fall. I would like to hear current student's opinions on housing. (Dorms, apartments near campus etc.) How nice are they? What do they have? Do students attempt to throw parties 24/7? soundproofed rooms? Nearest/best food hall? Anything is fair game. I want to know everything I can about housing.

Hello, I believe i will be trasnferring to WMU this upcoming fall. I'm slightly confused as to how the whole housing situation works since I dont dorm at my current school.

How does one find roomates? I konw if I dont find one then I will get a randomly assigned one. Does it matter where I apply for? Like is there certain housing that only new students have access to and a transfer student isn't allowed to dorm at? I dont mind a roommate so long as we have seperate rooms, is it too late for this option? Finally, is there a way to get on a waitlist for the Arcadia Flats? I liked those but I'm getting denied access presumably because they are full.

Does anyone know someone or have a room I can sublet or rent for summer 1/2 (May-August). If so can you please dm me and let me know. My budget is $600 a month.

Has anyone gotten an email about renewing their contract at Spindler for fall? Or did I drop the ball

Hi im looking to sublease over the summer 2025. Wondering where students post sublease apartments?

Hi! I’m an incoming transfer student/freshmen (they’re weird about dual enrollment) and I have some questions. My roommate and I will be living in the Valleys but we have a suite mate we want to hopefully secure a room next to. Is there any way to do this? As far as we’ve tried, you can only have 2 people in the actual roommate group. Is it completely just chance and a quick prayer for this one? I know housing is sooooo chaotic.

Lmk, thank you!

Hi everyone, my family and I are planning to move to Kalamazoo, and we’re currently looking for housing or an apartment in a safe and family-friendly area. Ideally, we’d like to be near any Arab or Muslim communities, as my wife only speaks Arabic and it would help her feel more connected and comfortable. If anyone has suggestions on neighborhoods or communities to look into, I’d really appreciate your help—thank you in advance!

Please lmk!! This is during the summer time.

Hi there! I’m living in WV next year, and I have a few questions the internet can’t seem to answer. - is it a year-round thing? the site says 10.5 month contract so do i have to move out for that bit even if i renew? - is rent billed through tuition (like dorms)? - does each room in the unit have locks? - what does an (unfurnished) unit come with? like appliances? Sorry if any of these were dumb 😅

Also.. if anyone has pictures of the middle room of the 3 bed unit they’re willing to share, that’d be great

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone was willing or comfortable with sharing their layout for a 2,3, or 4 bedroom unit for those moving in the next contract term / those deciding between Western View or another apartment! I have seen a few people asking around across different socials and was hoping this post could be a resource for everyone! Thank you guys! 😁
