We Want To See Your Jank Houses

Zach Schwartz | Onward State

They say college builds character, but there must be a limit.

College students are no strangers to low standards and a good deal. For some, this mentality is hardest at work when choosing where to live.

As leasing season kicks off, many students are on the hunt for a place that doesn’t cost a small fortune. Sure, your home may not have air conditioning and the sink might make a weird noise when you use the garbage disposal, but it’s in town, you don’t have to deal with pesky RAs, and you’re not shelling out $1,000 a month.

If you’ve lived or are currently living in a questionable space and the imagery above resonates with you, we’d love to see what your house looks like. The jankier, the better. From a duct-taped support beam that’s crucial to the structural integrity of your roof to a porch that’s a tetanus minefield, we want to see the real college experience.
