How much cash should an Aggie grad have before moving into an apartment?

Quick answer

Grant uses about $2,000–$3,000 as a practical planning target when possible: roughly $1,000 for apartment-specific upfront costs and another $1,000–$2,000 for moving, groceries, basic furnishings and setup. Exact needs vary by property and renter.
