Hi Angel,
Tranportation is part of the equation when you are looking for accommodation.
On campus you have short ways. If you live close to campus, apartments might be scarce and rents high. If you move further away for whatever reason, you need to figure out how to get places.
Is there reliable public transport? Can someone (family or friend) drop you off and pick you up every day? Can you find a regular ride share? If not, you'll need a car/motorbike/scooter or you need to move closer to university.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!

If you are going somewhere that is mostly warm with a good infrastructure, a bicycle is a good option. Get a waterproof backpack in case of rain and you can plan your travel time accordingly. It's faster than walking. :)
