how crappy was your first apartment?

It was in Tigerland so there's that. $320 per month

$290/mo

1 bed, 1 bath, no central heat or air.

The kitchen was smaller than most closets.

Landlord was a fricking psycho.

Apartment? N/A but I'll ask one of my interns tomorrow.

In 1965 my wife and I rented an apartment down a gravel road off Highland for $35 per month. My dad said those apartments looked dilapidated when he was a student at LSU in the 1930s.

Highland Plantation

My GI bill paid for mine, so with a part of my savings added on, it was immaculate. 3 bedrooms and only me. Guys frick up by not going into the military first. Done right, you're in shape/have money/don't have to work/don't have to pay for school. Girls love it.

ETA: I paid $975 + electric/cable

It was next to a railroad crossing and the train would blow the horn at 4am a few times a week.

My first off-campus apartment wasn’t terrible. Cheap 2br with laminate countertops. But I was 21. There were some trashy neighbors who fought loudly outside, but I never felt unsafe in that part of BR (Jefferson/Bluebonnet in 2001ish). The biggest pain was the long arse pretentious street name: Rue de Belle Maison.

I think it was $650/mo.

Azalea Point in tigerland in 2007. $575 for a 600sqft 1BR. The parking lot flooded during any hard rain, but that was about it.

I lived there when it was Plantation Trace (Trash). Rent was $550 a month, and I loved it despite its shittiness. I remember our kitchen had a gangsta lean.
