People always say when you go to college to live on campus?

Lol i commute 2 hrs to NYU everyday and its absolute hell..the kids who dorm (which the dorms are amazing here so its diff for you) but the kids who dorm have the time of their lives while im suffering..but my parents wont let me dorm :/ If you can convince them to let you live in an apartment then youll have the same amount of fun you would if you dormed. The college experience is based on the freedom and not living wit ur parents. So either apartment or dorm its the same experience. Unfortunately for me i can have neither :( but iA you'll have a better experience. :)

i never lived on campus if i did i woudlnt of graduated seeing as they suck just stay somehwere near it or at your rents till you get enough money remeber its not how much you make but how much you save

Live in the dorm. Living in an apartment means furnishing it, keeping it clean, doing the cooking and shopping for meals, etc., etc. Besides, when you and your boyfriend break up, then what? You live in the dorm for a year, learn your way around campus and the town, meet new friends and possible roommates and then you can decide what to do for sophomore year.

My room was smaller than this and also had brick lol. The first week I HATED it. I wanted to be back home and with my family. But I also roomed with a friend from home, so once she arrived I was a little better. I also had a friend who lived off campus. She loved it, but it was her first year of college and she missed out on all of the fun interactions we did. We met SOOO many new people and had the best times. We stayed up late, watched movies, went out, etc. You were always surrounded by a group of people and as long as you have the intentions of making friends, you will. It sucks a lot sometimes because you do have to deal with a lot of other people and their crap, but the pros out weigh the cons so I would say for sure, LIVE ON CAMPUS AT LEAST YOUR FIRST YEAR. if not you will miss out in the experience and I also thing you would regret it.

That's a pretty typical dorm room in size. If you live with your boyfriend, you'll be dependent on him for most of your social life and you won't meet nearly as many people as you would if you lived in the dorm. You'll really be cheating yourself out of a major part of the college experience by living with your boyfriend. (And if you have a major fight and want to move out, where are you going to go? You won't have any other place to retreat to.) So live in the dorm freshman year to meet people and then make your decision about sophomore year the following spring. Don't let your boyfriend pressure you in moving in with him to share expenses. He can just get himself a roommate or a smaller place.

I have seen couples who are perfect for each other, break up. Then what happens? You are living with a guy you no longer want to be with. Also many colleges require all freshman to live on campus. If you do live off campus, live with other girls. It is also much more convenient to be right on campus.
