How Do You Make Your Apartment Your Home?

By Kati Strong, Academic Coordinator CLE Austin

We took a short survey of a handful of our students and asked them how they decorate and add those touches of personality and comfort to make their apartments a home. These are their responses and some pictures of the very personalized abodes of some of our students.

Christos P.

I like to clean my whole apartment once a week so that it doesn’t build up.
I inspire to have people over so I like to keep it clean.
I see how hard my mom works to keep her place clean and I don’t want to be beat by my own mom in cleaning!

Kirby G.

Make it similar to home but not exactly. Try to make it as similar as you can by placing pictures of pets and family. All the Star Wars knick-knacks and mementos make it mine.

Hunter S.

I like to make my apartment feel like home by using all of my bedroom stuff from home in my apartment. I love sports so everything I have to decorate with is sports, sports, sports.

Zach R.

Take good care of it, add a couple of trinkets here and there. Bring stuff from my parents’ home to make it feel like home. I’ve added posters and things that I like.
