why do student live in univeristy housing?

Because most colleges REQUIRE you to live on campus at least the first year.  I had guys on my hall who lived 10 minutes away!  The could have stayed home, but the university didn't allow freshmen to do that.

Cos they are plain stereotyped dumb. If u can get to those places to live, do u think u will b back here talking like some stupid moron?? No right? So ask them to shut up and study cos they surely need some in their immature brain.

All campuses should offer summer housing, although it will cost you money, you can avoid that by taking summer classes;filling out for financial aid for the summer might help with that expense. And you can also ask around on campus for odd jobs paid by left over bonus money that just collecting dust with a certain department(biology, history, etc)

Living on campus has its own advantages and conveniences such as don't have to commute too far away, easy access to the college's library and facilities, etc., and can easily get back to apartment within minutes. But I do believe its disadvantages are that it's more costly and you do have to share your apartment with others as well. And it can be nosier due to the campus' crowds on the weekends esp. on a Friday night.\nLiving off campus will allow you to choose your type of apartment and the cost as well, and to get away from the college and crowd as much as possible. It's less stressful, but it allows you to concentrate better in a quiet neighbourhood as well. But the main disadvantage is the distance of commutation which can take up to an hour to get to the campus.

There is usually enough privacy, in my experience.  Sharing a bathroom is not a very big deal, though the hygiene of dorm bathrooms is sometimes questionable.  They are usually kept clean enough, the workers who clean dorms always work very hard, but some students are not very considerate.  Actually living in a dorm is a very interesting experience, it can be fun if you make it fun.  Sharing a space with a few other people your age is exciting and the freedom of not having parents around make you very responsible in just a few weeks.  It can be tough but it helps you to become confident in doing things for yourself all the time.  I think dormlife is amazing.

I suggest that you opt for on campus boarding.Though it might look expensieve but has many hidden benefits .Such as you can be sure that you are better protected,you can avoid diseases(as some spread through,it matters where you rent an apartment or house,etc),In winter you can be protected from cold,Etc.\n\nAnd yes many many congrats on getting admission in good university.best of luck for your higher studies.

Well it really depends on how long you're planning to stay.\nI'm an ex-erasmus myself and I strongly advice you to go and live with the locals in order to appreciate the experience.\n\nLiving in a hostel, even the University hostel could be interesting, depending on the state of the place ! \n\nIn Scotland however, people often share their appartments.\nYou could then rent a room in a house with 3 other students.\nThe accommodation office of the university will provide yo with a list of potential rooms. You simply phone and visit. \n\nOnce again it depends where you're going : Glasgow, Edinburgh, aberdeen ??? The prices aren't the same !

It's not easy to live with other people. Sometimes it's even harder with friends because you have a history together and expectations. Sometimes kind, caring people can be clingy or make you feel guilty without meaning to. It can be easier to be roommates with a stranger because you can keep more distance, etc. \nLiving with a friend is different than being married. I'm not entirely sure why, but it is. My husband hated all of his roommates in college but he seems not to mind living with me most of the time.

Voluntary.  Not everyone is cut out for the college/university academics and lifestyle.  People have the right to decide what is personally best for their future.

There's much more of a difference between students.  A lazy student and a good university does not get nearly as good an education as a hard working student in a less famous university.

how old is your friend and why do they need a place to live ?

Because college students are adults and can make their own decisions. If you think it shouldn't be allowed on campus, it shouldn't be allowed anywhere.

Apartment!! The dorms on campus are overcharging for your stay! It is convient to live on campus of course, but nto worth the extra money you will be spending to live there. An example, I lived on campus and piad $560 a month, and then I got a 1 bedroom apartment for $520 a month (and split it with my BF). Now, that is only a little cheaper, but every penny counts when you're in college.\n\nNot to mention the restrictions when you live on campus! I got a $20 fee for just having a candle out!

Because the government funds the rest of your tuition fees. And also the University know that the majority of students that come abroad are rich, so they jack up the price.

Why would you want to.  Living here isn't all it's cracked up to be.
