Live on-Campus While You Can

Living on campus is definitely easy. Food options are available all over and at all hours of the night. Freshman year, live in East if you don't want to get any sleep and South or Pollock if you want to have the option of being in a slightly quieter building.

Housing is always really helpful and prompt if you have any problems with your room.

Cost wise, living on campus is probably about average and comes out to being about the same as living in the majority of off-campus apartment buildings.

The housing process is easy as long as you get a contract.. a decent number of people don't get them and then they're kind of screwed because most of the apartments downtown are taken at that point. You also don't get your assignment until August which is a little frustrating. The contracts are given out in a lottery and have nothing to do with who you are or special circumstances (unless you're an athlete or in a special living option).

The social aspect is nice because you get to know the people on your floor pretty well in the dorms, and they're right there if you want to hang out.
