Should an Aggie grad choose an apartment just because a friend recommends it?

Quick answer

No. A friend’s apartment can be a useful lead, but your employer, commute, budget, exact unit, management experience and lifestyle may be completely different. Grant wants the recommendation treated as one data point, then tested against your actual priorities. A place that was perfect for a friend can still be wrong for your first year after Texas A&M.
