On or Off

During college there are different types of living. Some people commute from their homes and they dont have to move at all, others find an apartment and move in and live there and then there is living on campus in the dorms.

On Campus
Living on campus for those of you who do not know is living in rooms that the schools own and ou pay so much a semester to live there. There are usualy many different options such as a regualr dorm room which is a room with 2 people. A private room where you have a room to yourself. You can live in the Suites which is 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrroms and 4 people live in them, And lastly there are the apartment style which is set up just like an apartment and 4 people share an apartment style housing. I personally live on campus and I love it. When you live on campus you get to meet new people and create friendships that once didnt exsit. There are many on campus activities that the college puts on for their residents and can be very fun. For example the university I attend put on a survivor night where you went through and obstical course and youe could joust and play volleyball; it was a lot of fun and I got to meet new people and win prizes. Another perk to living on campus is the school is very close you can leave your dorm with 10 minutes till class and still make it on time. Also you get your meals made by the school in the cafeteria. The meal plan is included in your houseing contract, and the meals are different and unique everyday.

Off Campus
Living off campus can be fun because you do not have to follow campus rules.  Along with that you have to pay rent, water, electric, food, and internet, and cable every month. That can get really pricey after you add it all up. You also are responsible for cleaning up everything and you have top drive to school because you prolly do not live close enough to walk and that cost you gas for your vehicle. You are more isolated from the campus activities because you are not there to participate in them, you also do not meet as many new people because you only go to school you do not actually spend time with anyone outside of the classroom. You also will probably not have the security you have living on campus. On campus they have security officers walking around at all hours living on your own off campus you will nto have that luxary.

Off Campus vs. On Campus
Living on campus or off campus is your choice. But in my opinion I feel living on campus is the better choice. It increases your social life and allows you to participate in all sorts of activities. Is closer and allows your easy and fast access to the school if need be. It is also much simplier because you do not have to worry about paying your rent, water and electric bills, along with cable and internet and grocery bills. Living on campus is clearly the way for a college student to go!
