I'm looking for apartments and I don't know if I have to buy furniture or what. Does it come included?

You need to look for apartments that are advertised as "furnished." That's the term that complexes use to advertise places that come with furniture.
If it doesn't say "furnished," you should plan on having to buy furniture. If you rent a place that comes with furniture, the rent will be $200+ more a month than if you rented a place without furniture.

And if you can't afford furniture, don't go to those rent-to-own places. They will charge you 3x the price of the actual item by the time you're done paying it.
Do what I did: buy a little bit at a time. You don't HAVE to have a couch the day you move in, nor do you need a dining room table. Save and build up slowly.
