Hello there,
My husband-to-be and myself are moving to College Station mid August. We're coming all the way from Australia and I'm a little worried about finding accommodation. Our current plan is to arrive 2 weeks before our start date at work. I'm hoping this would be sufficient time to look around for somewhere to stay.
Do you think this is risky? Is this inadvisable, given it is "peak" moving time, just before Fall semester starts? (That being said, I'm hoping there would be as many goings as comings)
We could organise accommodation over the internet and secure a place to live before getting there... However I am reluctant to commit to a lease without having first viewed the place.
Another of our limitations is the fact that we will need a furnished apartment, or need to rent furniture... Is the second-hand furniture market thriving in College Station?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks heaps!
