Shared apartments, spare rooms and roommates in Austin

The state capital of Texas is a large city that hosts many national and international students every year, thanks to its institutions, which include the University of Texas at Austin and St. Edward's University. It is not among the most expensive cities in the United States, but even so, the cost of living in the city tends to be high. For this reason, the preferred student accommodation in Austin is in shared flats, where young people pay rent for a spare room and shared use of the space. This means that the costs are divided among all the flatmates, which is generally more affordable than renting a flat on your own.
