That's awesome!

I remember how very adult I felt in my first (non dorm) apartment.

Wow!! Big step. That's awesome.

That's awesome! Is it near campus? Does he need anything?

[nymama]

I remember how exciting it was to move off campus in college into my first aparment. I am glad he found a great place.

[jaycee]

Will he have roommates? Three bedrooms is tons of glorious space. My first apartment made me feel so so happy.

Woo Hoo! That's awesome

[daisybuchannan]

Does the 12 month lease mean he'll be staying all summer?

Makes me want to cry thinking about my little boy leaving, omg.

[lightyears]

this is so exciting.

[spitforspat]

Are you horrified by the rent?
My first apartment-- in Brookline-- was $425/month. It was a three bedroom apartment a mile from campus. I shared it with 7 other girls.

I remember my first place so well! I made curtains but didn't have access to a sewing machine so I finished all the edges with hemming tape.

He's going to have so much fun!

Is he having roommates?

Dear god, it's dreadful. 2400/mo, with heat/hot water paid, thank god.

Ugh. That sounds about right.
Ours was $2600. It had a giant walk-in closet, which is what two girls shared.

And this was in 1996.

OMG 7 other girls. I'd die. Brookline is pretty pricey though, I can't imagine what it is now.

It was interesting, that's for sure.
I was so happy to move back on to campus the next year, into a penthouse, with three (relatively) teammates. Then at least we still had issues, but most of them were tied to a bad practice or hating our coach. LOL. We had lots in common.

I remember my first apt. Such an exciting time! Yay for him!

[kirra]

That's exciting

[jreeds]

holy cow. He said they looked in Brookline, for about two minutes, then headed out.

Technically, it was Cleveland Circle. I think my dad nearly had a heart attack when I told him how much it was.
Then I moved to Spokane after I graduated and paid $250/month for my own 1 bedroom apartment. LOL.

From what you have posted about him, he's going to love JP.

Being close to the T is going to be awesome in the winter
