Hi everyone, I’m an incoming transfer student and will likely be living at Arbors of Sam Houston. I won’t have a car, so I’m trying to understand what daily life is like from that location.
For anyone who has lived there or nearby:
What grocery stores, pharmacies, or other useful stores are realistically within walking or cycling distance?
Are the walking and cycling routes generally safe and practical?
Which restaurants near campus would you recommend for someone eating alone?
Are there any affordable places that are good for regular meals, not just an occasional expensive dinner?
Do most students living at Arbors rely mainly on biking, walking, the Bearkat shuttle, delivery, or rideshares for groceries?
Is there anything about living there without a car that
I should know before signing the lease?
I’m also considering an SHSU meal plan even while living off campus, so recommendations for useful campus dining options would be appreciated.
Thanks!
