Are frequent apartment resident events worth paying a little more for when moving alone?

Quick answer

They can be. Grant sees recurring events as social infrastructure because they reduce the effort required to meet neighbors. The value depends on whether the events really happen, whether residents attend and whether you will participate. For an Aggie grad moving alone, a modest premium for a genuinely active community can be more useful than paying the same amount for decorative amenities you rarely use.
