Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Living on campus is truly an experience. Since CCS is right in the city of Detroit, you are next to everything that is going on. There's a different vibe to everything, and the atmosphere is alive. When you live on the Taubman campus, you get more of a traditional dorm space. It's neat and clean, and you're required to get a meal plan, which works well especially for freshmen. This might be their first time away from home, and they're learning all these new self-sustaining responsibilities, and to lessen the burden a little bit by having a meal plan helps a lot.

At the ACB, you get to experience a lot more space in an apartment-style dorm, which works better for more independent students and upperclassmen who haven't moved off campus yet. The number of students who live in these dorms is higher, but some people consider it to be worth it because of the full-size kitchen. However, the ACB is an older building and has definitely been lived in, and the elevators seem to break down at the most inopportune times.It all really just depends on what kind of experience you want. If you schedule an appointment with admissions, they can give you a tour of living quarters, and you'll be blown away.

Dorm Life It Has Its High and Its Low

When coming to College For Creative Studies I fell in love with the dorms, but as in any relationship it had its up and downs. In the Dorm ,each group either of 2-3 or 3-6 had an apartment style sweet, consisting of two or three bedrooms, a kitchen, dining and living room and extra space for out large drafting tables. The space of the rooms and the freedom of cooking your own food was a blessing in disguise. Cost was eh okay, around 5000 rounded for a year , but hey who am i kidding my sisters dorm at BC was 12 k. Convenience was also good , only a walk across the freshly cut green lawn of campus and you at your class. However the NEW dorms of CCS is a little crowded, with a required meal plan , students have packed on the pounds as butter and oil are a main ingredient in every single MEAL. The freedom of cooking whatever, has been taken away from students living in this new dorm. Also SPACE, two students per dorm with a bathroom and a common area which your bed, desk, dresser and couch are located; pretty different from living in a full apartment. Other than that the dorms are okkkay, you can not have what you want always , that is unless you move out and get you own place :)

It Is Separated

The two campuses kind of separate the students and the signing in is slightly discouraging from visiting the other campus.
