Deciding on whether to live on campus or not is a hard decision to make. On the one hand the tantalising prospect of living away from home and away from parents is inviting and seems like a great plan! While on the other hand the thought of being completely isolated from your supportive family and your current group of friends can be terrifying to think about.
However living on campus is a great opportunity for students to learn a lot of new things, in their first year especially. The whole point of going to college is not only to learn more about a chosen subject but to also learn about taking responsibility for your actions and learning about just how hard and wonderful it can be to look after yourself. Living on campus can be a lot of fun but is hard work. Some people find that they prefer the commute to living on campus simply because they find it difficult to juggle their work, social life and looking after themselves. Campus life is not for everyone but it is a great and rewarding experience. I would recommend trying it out before you make any judgements about it.
