租房子需要考虑的因素：
1、是否有便捷的交通工具到达学校或工作的地方。
2、若准备买车也要考虑周边的环境是否方便停车。
3、房子种类可分别房屋、公寓和配有家具的房子。
4、是否需要室友，对于室友的期望，是否有禁止养宠物及无小孩的要求
提示：
如果要在国外租房子，可以到当地的报纸上看广告分类，然后打电话询问活着去现场看看。
例如在英国，如果你看到一所房子前面竖着一个牌子，上面写着“To Let”和一个电话号码，那么这所房子就是要出租的。这里的‘Let’就是出租的意思，电话号码一般是中介的联系方式。记住，如果签约后要保留合同的复印件，入住前要查看公寓及环境，把需要修理的东西列一个清单，这样你就不用付额外修理费用。
