As a student in a university town, should I choose location over size?

I’m a first year undergrad student, currently living off campus that’s 23 mins away from my classes. A 4 bed/2 bath apartment I found is 15 mins from my classes, closer to groceries and my part time job. There are buses at both locations, the buses at the new place could take me straight into campus, but the bus I have right now only takes me down the street and I’d still have to walk 10 mins into campus. I’m in Kingston, ON and I’m not used to such cold and snowy/icy winters since I’m from BC. I think I can get used to walking in these weathers later on, but is it worth it? Downside of the new place is that the room will be unfurnished and my current room came furnished. Will spending $1k on furniture be worth it if I’ll most likely leave after I graduate in 3 years? I’ll also have to try to sell said furnitures by then. The new room will also be smaller (8.6x9), my current room is 15.75x11. Rent will be $50 more, but this is not really an issue.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
