To Live on Campus or off Campus?

Deciding whether to live on campus or off campus can sometimes be a hard decision to make. Dorms can be expensive, but renting an apartment can be even more expensive. Some students may have to pay from $100 to $400 a month, and that can really take a tole on a student when they have to pay for everything else. Finding an apartment somewhere close to the college may also be hard if you're trying to find one close. Some colleges want you to stay at the dorms at your first year there. I think staying at the dorm your first year makes you more aware of your surroundings and makes it a little easier. I think it also helps you get used to meeting new people. Money is a big problem for many college students, so I know it can be really stressful for many college students.
