TCU housing help

[wake9909]

Hello. I'm starting the CRNA program at TCU this fall. I think I may need to ask for some help here. I'm starting to panic a bit as I am going to have to relocate to Fort Worth from Tulsa and still have no idea where I'm going to live when I get there! I've done internet searches and I've contacted an apartment locator realtor and have yet to hear back from her. I am only going to move to Fort Worth for the first semester (approx. 4 months) so I want to find something preferably already furnished that also offers a short-term lease. I do not have any desire to move a bunch of my own furnishings, etc. Everything I've found that is located near TCU (SW Fort Worth) that is furnished (extended stay hotels, etc) is going for about $60+ per night! That adds up to $1800 per month which is just a wee bit more than I was wanting to pay, and that's on the low end! I've already attempted to reserve at spot at the Grand Marc at Westberry, which is both furnished and pretty much on campus, but they told me they have already overextended their quota on the number of short leases they could do for the year so I'd have to sign a year lease! Grrrrrrrr......... I'm so frustrated right now. Basically what I'm looking for is something within a few miles of campus, something that offers short-term leases (or an extended stay place) and that is preferably furnished. I do not want any roommates so I just need a one bedroom/studio, 1 bath living arrangement of some sort. I am open to whatever suggestions any of you can give me! Thanks!!

Hi! I live in Dallas and when I moved here I stayed at the Budget Suites hotel. It is 900/month for extended stay, which includes tv and internet. They are pretty nice and furnished. I have a child, so I wouldn't stay somewhere unsafe. Go to their website, http://www.budgetsuites.com and look up the location for Ft.Worth. It may not be right by campus, but will probably be the best bet for you, because of the low price and no lease. Hope this helps you! Good luck in school. I hope to be a CRNA one day as well.

Thank you, Gypsynurse! I will definitely consider that option...sounds a lot more reasonable than so many others for sure! I appreciate your feedback. Thanks again and good luck to you as well!!
