Summers are Usually Not a Good Time

In most cities, summers are usually not a good time to move. And we’ll tell you why. Most of the colleges start their semesters in the summer. So property owners hike up the rent because of the surge in the number of students looking for PG rooms. But that’s not all. You’ll have to pay extra for moving charges and rental furniture too. And on top of that, if you’re late, most of the good rooms may just get filled up and all you’ll be left with is a make-do PG room. Now, it won’t be fun to play ‘watermelon sugar high’ in that kinda unaesthetic room, right?

Considering Flight Fares is Important

Before you decide to book your PG accommodation, you should also confirm when you’re actually going to be flying in. Because when semesters are about to start or close, or when there’s a major festival in the city, flight fares rise like nobody’s business. So make sure you consider that and book both your flight and your PG accommodation accordingly. In super simple words, book them early and not at the last minute. Or else, you might be flying from Kanpur to Bangalore, but your flight ticket will make you feel like you’re flying off to the Maldives. But not in a good way tho.

Keep Yourself in the loop with Friends Living There

Google might help you with everything that you can imagine (like cooking a perfect pasta). And everything that you can never imagine (like how to get a new identity). But it sometimes can’t factor in lived experiences. So when you decide to move into another city, always talk to every friend, senior and friend’s friend living there about the city. Trust us, more often than not, you’ll learn a thing that Google won’t be able to tell you. So slide into those DMs, and call up those numbers to know about the right time to move to the city.
