Off-campus areas

Wolf Pen Creek — Apartments and townhomes near the park and trails; photograph each bedroom and bathroom separately since leases are usually signed per bed.
Century Square — Mixed-use development directly across from campus; capture appliances and finishes in these higher-end units before move-in.

What to document near Texas A&M University

Off-campus near Texas A&M University — in areas like Northgate and Wolf Pen Creek, units are commonly leased by the bed, so photograph your own bedroom and bathroom in full and keep separate, timestamped wide shots of the shared kitchen, living room, and bathrooms.

Because most off-campus units here come furnished, record each provided piece on its own — desk and chair, bed frame and mattress, dresser, and any couch or table — so the move-in condition of every included item is on file.

College Station sits in deep East Texas heat, with August move-in highs near 95F and heat-index readings that can approach the 120s, so document any AC unit, vent, or thermostat carefully and note humidity marks on baseboards and window seals.

Texas A&M University move-out week

Pick up your express checkout form from your RA at the hall closing meeting and walk the room before you start packing.
Photograph every wall, floor, and fixture once the room is empty, capturing any tape marks, scuffs, or AC and window-seal wear.
Finish the room condition steps: pull down tape and putty, mop floors, and unstack furniture away from the walls.
Drop your key in the hall office key drop-box and keep your dated photos as your own move-out record.
