Have Your Bills Bundled
By bundling your bills, you can have one simple and easy monthly payment. The way you can do this is by looking for FAMU apartments that are all-inclusive.

This relationship could make it so that your overall bills are less each month, thanks to the amount of business your apartment community brings to the utility companies. Always be sure to do your research, in some cases you might be better off paying your bills individually because in some cases it might cost less
See About Including Your Internet

This day in age using the internet is necessary to do homework, work on research papers or even take online classes. Not only does having the internet included help with all that school work, but it makes life that much easier by having one less bill to pay. Wouldn't you rather surf the internet in your pajamas on your own couch than have to trek to the school's library just so you can use their internet? When it's time to take a break from all that studying and researching, you can use the Wi-Fi in your apartment to surf the internet or check your social media. Being connected to the internet will prevent you from using all the data up on your phone too!
