It’ll be my first year at a university since I’m transferring from a community college.

I’m not required to live on campus.

I’m trying to decide whether or not I should live on campus.

I was thinking living on campus for at least a year will give me better options to meet people then the following year apartment.

But now that I’m seeing how much rent can be it’s seems like it’s cheaper then room and board.

But that doesn’t include groceries as well as sometimes stuff like internet, electricity. Some Utilities are included.

I want to meet people and experience dorm life although people say it’s horrible BUT apartment cheaper then..

Does it add up and eventually be the same amount?

Any advice on what’s best?
