Can an Aggie grad start an apartment search too early?

Quick answer

Yes, if “search” means choosing an exact unit too far in advance. Early planning is useful for neighborhoods, budgets, commute and building preferences, but exact availability and concessions may not be meaningful months before move-in. Grant likes early contact, then more serious monitoring around the final few months and live verification close to application time.
