Living in the dorm was the best experience ever, I don't know anyone who didn't miss it when they moved off campus.

i rent a basement apartment for a very affordable price -- well below what some people pay for single door rooms.

Doors are, in effect, a big cashgrab scam. But you pay that premium for the "atmosphere", which matters for those age 19-21.

Usually once kids hit 3rd year, they moved off campus because they realized it was a glorified "living at home" experience.

People who wanted to drink and hang out 24/7 and eating in the cafeteria was fun, they always had great choices.

Since I loved it as well, Ill share my experiences too.

It was just like living in a giant house with a ton of friends. You might not know everyone, but you knew a lot of the people. My roommate and I pretty much let our room be a central spot on the floor for our group of friends, since I had the video game consoles. People would come over all the time to play games, and wed regularly just leave with our friends still in the room when we went to class. Wed come back and a new set of friends would be in there, since it was a bit of a revolving door.

Also, having a food court on the ground floor of where you live is ultra convenient. Just go down there are weird hours to get food. More often than not, wed go down with a group, or wed bump into people we knew.

It was just this weird communal thing that Id never experienced before and that I will likely never experience again. Im glad I experienced it it was great.

Living in an apartment later on at college was another different experience. Different from the dorms, but equally great.

College was just fucking fun.

I lived at home my first 2 years since I had a 30 minute commute from home.

Moved on campus and then into a close by apartment afterwards though. Awesome times. Commuting got old fast
