7 Must-Have Apartment Features for USF Medical Residents 

Continuing your academic pursuits with a medical residency or internship is a challenging and time intensive process, but in the end rewarding. When you're working long shifts and studying hard you want to have a comfortable space to come home to and relax in. When choosing an apartment for your USF residency, make sure you set yourself up for success with the perfect features for your busy lifestyle. Here are some ideas for what to look for:

In-Unit Laundry 

When you're dealing with a grueling nontraditional schedule, laundry gets done when there's time. Be sure to filter your search to apartments where washer and dryers are included. This way your scrubs can be clean when you need them! 

24 hr. Fitness Center

When you're on your feet all day in the hospital it may be tiring but sadly it's not a workout. In order to get your time in the gym in, look for an apartment that has an onsite gym, preferably one that is 24 hours. This way you can staying fit can work for your schedule. 

Furnished 

Your time as a resident is typically short-lived, so save yourself the hassle, moving costs and money of bringing your own furniture. Try searching for an apartment that comes furnished so that all of your living essentials are ready for you once you get there. This can make the moving process smoother and take one more thing off your plate.     

Convenient Location

Long commutes are not ideal for a USF medical residency. You want to be able to get in and out of your shift as quickly as possible. Try narrowing your apartment search to your desired location like properties near AdventHealth or the USF Morsani College of Medicine.

Dedicated Study Space

For your residency or internship at USF it is ideal that the apartment you choose has a dedicated study space. This gives you a quite place to learn away from any distractions and a change of scenery without leaving your apartment building. Limit your search to apartments with study rooms.  

All Inclusive 

Want to make life a little easier for yourself? Search for apartments that are all-inclusive. This way you'll only have to worry about keeping up various utilities, just one bill. You also might save some cash with set utility prices, especially in hot south Florida. 

Virtual Tours 

When starting your medical residency at USF, it may be a quick transition from your previous academic endeavors. If you don't have the time to visit south Florida before signing an apartment lease, look for properties that offer virtual tours. Virtual tours have become increasingly more common and will give a better sense of the apartment than pictures could do.
