Depends, my single cost like 3000 for a semester (roughly 4 months) with the base cost for a meal plan covered as well as all utilities (basic cable with a couple of HD channels, pretty fast internet with a 10GB cap/week and someone to clean the bathrooms and halls every other day). That's roughly equivalent to the rent of a nice studio apartment where I went to school, without utilities. I say it's generally a good deal when you put location in mind, it is REALLY nice to just roll out of bed and go to class and also not have to cook. Maybe it all depends in the offer.. Is that dorm you were living inside the school? Yes, it was. I did go to a VERY large school though, so sometimes it still took a while to walk across campus to get to class.

You must be studying in a private school..

I really think people who commute to school are missing out on a large part of the college experience. You'll make friends at your new university almost instantly, stuff is always going on, you can easily form study groups with other residents in your classes. Safety is dependent upon the school. Every school that I'm aware of makes significant efforts to keep the residents safe. Visit the school, if the dorm doesn't feel safe to you won't want to live there.

I think I would kill myself if I were stuffed into such a small space with so many people all the time. I'd only say, watch out you don't get sick. Showers especially are breeding grounds for germs; I know a guy who got a nasty infection in his foot while in a college dorm, and they say he probably got it from the shower floor. Of course, if you get your own shower and bathroom, it's probably not too bad.

Valzoa 3850 cr points Send Message: M / Bay area California Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 10/7/12 It's okay to live in a dorm. I never did cause I always too expensive. I stay at a dorm for a week with a buddy of mine and it's pretty cool. on friday nights everyone goes out and party , drunk teens walk everywhere. you will see some people trying to pick up drunk females that are walking. some ppl dont even live at the stupid school and they go to the college on weekends to party. the food was better then high school food umm. other then that it's pretty quiet during the week
	Report to Moderator So much to do, SO little time! I'll give someone $100 if they can freeze time !
Winterfells 9044 cr points Send Message: 26 / M / Gotham City Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 10/7/12 During college I hung out with friends in their dorms, but I didn't live in university housing myself. Like others have pointed out, it's usually overpriced and there's not very much flexibility in terms of living arrangements. It was nice for socializing, I met a lot of people since it was basically clusters of apartments. I wouldn't want to share communal showers and toilets though. I can handle roommates if we're sleeping in separate rooms, but having a roommate sleep in the same room as you, I just wouldn't be able to take. I like my privacy and time to myself.
