One of the first things incoming freshman think about, when they finally figure out which college they want to attend is where they are going to live. Even though most colleges require freshmen to live in the dorms their first year, there are always loop holes. The only thing is, is it would take a lot of paper work and time that most freshmen do not really have when first getting to college. Some students think it is worth it though, while some disagree.
“I like living off campus way more than I did living in the dorms,” said Jeff Jordan, Sapulpa senior. “In the dorms we had quiet hours and you had to share a couple of washers and dryers with a whole floor of guys. Now that I have my own place, I don’t have to worry about those kinds of things.”
While these qualities of living have a higher value to some students, other students would rather have guaranteed food and not have to worry about a parking space.
“The best thing about living in the dorms was that you knew you would always get to eat during meal trades,” said Tory Wilson, Stigler senior. “Plus I never had to drive to class, so I saved money on gas.”
It all comes down to the preferences of each student. If a student does not want to have to worry about traffic but does not care to wait in line to do their laundry, then the dorms would be a good fit for them. If a student would rather be able to be as loud as they want (to an extent) but have to find park spots or walk every day to class, then an off campus place would be better suited for them.
