Hey, I am from Lansing!  Is he going to be attending MSU or Cooley?  As for The Village at Chandler Crossing, they are nice apartments and in a nice area; however, that's one of the hottest college hot spots.  If you son is into party's all the time, and loud places during the school year, he'll be just fine there.  If he would like someone quieter, I would suggest looking at Knob Hill Apartments (in Okemos, which is 5 minutes from MSU and 10 minutes from Cooley).  The leasing company is DTN Management out of East Lansing. 

As for the weather... Hahaha... Well, November - March he is going to freeze his rear off!  Cold and snowy pretty much sums it up!

If you want any additional info or have other questions just let me know! 

So thankful for my DS! 1/20/2012 - SW 290/CW 155 - 1 year to lose, 1.5 years and counting maintaining!

God Bless you for responding. He will be attending Cooley. The Village at Chandler Crossing will not work for him. He is very conservative and quiet. I will have him check into Knob Hill Apartments in Okemos. Hopefully he can find somehere nice and furnished. I will ask if he has any more questions.

Thanks again. He was going to send his deposit in to Chandler.

 No problem!  I lived at Knob Hill the last two years of my undergrad, while working full time two blocks away from Cooley.  I loved it there!  Easy access to the highway and at least 4 different ways to get downtown quickly.  It's a great place for a law student.  

Can I ask how he ended up choosing Cooley if you all live in FL?  
Cooley is where my Mom went to law school, so I think it's a top notch school! :-)  Just interested, lol!!!

He choose Cooley, because they offered to pay 75% of his tution. he really needs a apt within walking distance of cooley. He really needs a furnished place also.

Sorry, I meant to respond sooner, but I haven't been online in a couple of days!  I would go to most schools that offered to pay 75% of my tution too, lol!! 

If he is looking for something within walking distant have him look at Fountain Place Apartments on Washington in Lansing.  It's only 4-5 blocks away from Cooley.  I personally have never lived there, but I have at least 5 friends that I work with live there.  I am not sure if they have furnished apartments though.  

There are also a lot of houses or apartments on Craig's List he could check out.  Knob Hill is not within walking distance, but the CATA bus route does have a downtown stop right out front.
