Apartment hunting Review

Students and young adults seek amenities such as heat, electric, gas, and water when searching for a place to live.
Brendan Chapman, a senior student at MSU, went looking for a place to live next fall on Sunday. He sought out a DTN employee to show him several apartments.

"We looked at some of DTN's properties. We went to Cedar Village but I felt that was too loud and crazy for a senior, we also looked at the further off campus places like Woodbrooke off Coolidge but that was a bit too far, it's a big process," said Chapman.

Chapman went through 7 apartment complexes before deciding to sign on a house with 4 roomates.

"We decided on a house, the rent is actually cheaper with having my buddies as roomates. We are planning on splitting the utilities this gives us a little bit more freedom to do what we please with the house I think," said Chapman.

HBO's season of Game of Thrones came to a close Sunday at 10p.m. This marks the end of the second

season of the show and leaves viewers wanting more for it's third season.

this evening to watch the finale.

Chapman grilled burgers for his guests while they all sat around his projector TV to recap the entire season.

Discussion was excited around the room, filled with hypothesis's and opinions from his guests.

         "Everyone gets really excited about this show, we might sound nerdy, but it is so captivating and really

            just gives you a sense of adventure," said Chapman.

The episode did not disappoint Chapman and his guests. There was applauding, shouts, and discussions

when the plot took a important turn.

the last scene was too much of a teaser for the shows third season.

             back up, guess I'll have to read the books," said Chapman.
