Making the life decision as to where you rest your head every night and live your life during the day can be a very hard task, to say the least. A final conclusion of this magnitude requires clear thought and concise evaluation. Many of the Moi University students are now residing in rentals, according to them, it is the best place ever to stay. To them, the word ‘hostel 'does not exist in their vocabulary.
Here are the few reasons as to why these students have chosen rentals over hostels;
Maintenance cost is low
Maintenance expenses are generally lower since the landlord is left with a greater task. Not only is the lack of maintenance worries a financial blessing, but it’s also a check off the 'Things to Do' list. Therefore, many of them will tend to use the saved cash for fun i. e playing FIFA, and cards. Honestly speaking who will not want to save some cash from the maintenance load? Absolutely none. The peace of mind associated with the mental freedom of renting is priceless.
Amenities
Unlike the hostels, rentals are built with specific amenities such as pools, gyms, convenience stores and laundry facilities directly on the premises or at a close proximity. For the students staying in the school hostels, you can only wash the clothes yourself or call some ladies who are commonly referred to as ‘mama wa kuosha nguo' to help you do that. Walking all the way to the laundry is a whole process which will make you worn out like never before.
Safety
It is a fact of no doubt that many tenants have invested in the overall safety of its residents. Every student here wants to be free when conducting his or her day to day activities, that is without any kind of threat. Taking an example of the hostels, security officers will mostly take charge during night hours, that causing a lot of panic during the day. An added advantage is that the close proximity of neighbors and typical complex safety measures prove that these places are the best more so for ladies who are prone to a lot of inhumane acts from men.
Community
Other great benefits of living in rentals are the social implications of the close proximity and connections one develops during their residency. The students get to interact with other local residents living in the same plot. As a result of this, one may fall into an opportunity of getting a guaranteed job space just right after completion of school. This comes with creating a good relationship with the people one is staying with. Now that is absolutely one of the rare chances you can ever dream to lose.
You want to live a good and fun life, then rentals are the best place to be.
