Well, I think first of all for first-time students, coming and living on campus in

dormitories can provide a certain level of security as well as convenience because it

close to campus facilities and commuting without a car can be quite an experience,

especially when you have to commute long distances. Also meals are usually provided

on campus so students can devote more time to their studies, rather than to

housekeeping. But, of course, students should also be aware that they ’ ll have to o the rules and regulations relating to student conduct. This is part of the contract with the university for living on campus.

Another option is living off campus in apartments. Like living in dormitories, living in

an apartment requires little or no maintenance mainly because that is usually

handled by the owner or someone else. Also, if you live off campus, there might be

a great amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when

living on campus. But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for

furnishing their own apartments.

Well, of course, the choice is up to you, but be careful to review both the

advantages and disadvantages of living on and off campus. Good luck. Answers
