Thank you.
I'll consider it. However, if I'm close to home, I might not.
Of course if I go to this one school, I'll HAVE to dorm. Or I can get Brit to move with me.
Yeah, if you are really close it might just be more cost effective to commute. But then that's gas money being eaten up...so you have a few factors to consider.
I know some people who dorm and they live like 15 minutes away from campus  | | |

Idk if I want to live on campus.
I kinda want to be home where I'll have free food, my own room, and a bigger space.
And isn't living in a dorm really expensive? Not only are you paying to live on campus, but you have to feed yourself as well, not to mention you don't get a lot of privacy.
What do you think? Did you live in a dorm, or stay at home?
I live at home. I would never want to live with a bunch of strangers, plus, I'm married, there's no way I'm living on campus when I have such a wonderful husband at home.  | | |

19/F/Baltimore, Maryland Join Date: Mar 2009 | Personally, I live at home while going to school. And there are certianlly benefits and pros to each.
Ex. If you live at home- dont take morning classes , unless you live diving places at 7am.
Ex. If you live at school- get ready to eat what the cafetria serves- every day- all day.
Ex. If you live at school find out if you are allowed to keep a car on campus for events not at school.
If you live at school there is a lot more drama, cattiness, oppurtunity to get distracted, less space, having to time things arround your roomate, public bathrooms [Can I say ew enough?] ect.
If you live at home there is less distraction and your space is yours- but it is harder to meet people unless you make sure to be active in campus activities. So yeah, living at home can feel isolating at times. [But you don't have to share your bathroom with countless strangers.]
Just some points.
Personally, I live at home, I like it & I don't regret the decison. | | |

I would say go for rez!! It is so handy for me to work on my assignments (I am in multimedia design and refuse to buy a mac) at the school at almost anytime I want. Also I only have to get up 5 mins before class in the morning. I lucked out in getting a 3 person room in my 1st year, most are 1 people rooms usually for 1st years and some are 2 people rooms for 2nd and more yrs. We have separate bedrooms and share a bathroom and kitchen area. My roomies are very nice, but it is different for everyone. I would say cost-wise it is worth it, we have a meal plan as part of ours but I get food from home too. Oh and of course you are close to parties too, but my building is rather quiet and the walls are not thin thank god. | | |
