Could anyone break down their expenses for living in an apartment in Georgia Tech? Would love to plan ahead of time. gatech

Pretty much related to the title.

• Please include one-time expenses like refrigerators and furniture.
• Did you have moving expenses?
• Did you wish you had bought something earlier because it was worth the expense?
• Were your suitcases useless because you never had to store stuff in them (any tips?)
• For food, how often did you cook vs eat at the dining hall vs eat out.
• Did you ever share utilities with your roommates?
• Laundry expenses and other stuff that GT Housing probably does for me.
• Did getting a bicycle or a skateboard help? Any issues with them?
• How was daily transportation - walk or bus?

Perhaps the most important question :

• What did you lose vs gain when compared to GT Housing.

Few details about myself:

• Carrying a monitor, desktop and a lamp.
• No wall stuff. Probably a few posters here and there.
• A few suitcases that are inevitably empty. Hate wasting floor/cupboard space on them.
• Not much for carrying mementos around.
