Rooming for College

I think the dorm life is part of "the" college experience, so you should definitely invest a semester at least, unless you have some really large aversion to it. There's both good and bad to the dorm life, as previously mentioned, there's always something going on and it's probably the best way to make friends and socialize. Heck, I'm living with two of the people I met in my first year in the dorms. If it wasn't for the dorms, I would've never met them.

I lived in the dorms for two years, although at my college, one year is pretty standard. As much as I enjoyed the dorm life though, I knew after my second year, I needed to get out. I think it had more to do with the fact that school was actually getting to the point where I needed time to study and focus, which the dorm life makes difficult.

Plus, dorm costs are expensive here o_O. Moving to an apartment is a money move also.

It's a hard call to make, I think everyone has a different situation/want so you gotta take it case by case.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
