is it more worth it to live on campus or rent an apartment near campus?
hillkill:
i'm kind of stuck here. i don't drive and can't expect people to drive me to classes everyday so i need to live in a close perimeter of campus.
if i live on campus, of course it's going to be more expensive but i can take out loans to pay; no problem with that. i also won't need bus fare or anything.
if i rent an apartment i would have to pay for rent, utilities and all that. main pro is that it's significantly less expensive. (10k per semester to live on campus)
i could maybe ask my friends to be roommates if i go the apartment route
what do you guys think?

rent out a small place nearby with a few friends and live together
dorms can be a general pain in the ass along with expenses while you can self-manage with your own place

as far as i'm aware, a lot of my friends aren't going to college but i'll ask around. i'm just not sure if we can get along living together instead of just chatting sometimes.

can confirm wholeheartedly

Getting your own place is way better. I'd sort out an apartment with friends with dorms as a fallback
Highly recommend not staying at home either way. You'll be missing out a good bit
