 Ask your landlord for a list of companies.  Look in the local phone book.  There may be choices to shop for price – or you may be limited to one.  You may need a deposit and/or credit to open your account. Electric/Gas/Water

 This may be your cell phone or a land line.  Discuss with roommates and decide. Phone

 This can be costly.  Could be shared between some or all of your roommates. Internet

 Will you have it?  Will you share the cost?  Whose name will it go under?  Shop around! You can save money. Cable/Satellite TV

 Some companies will bundle your services.  AT&T – phone, cell, Direct TV & Internet  Comcast – cable, internet & phone  Research it and see what’s out there in the area to where you are moving. Bundle
