Only 1 U Need Connoisseur 6,671 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 How do those of you who live on-campus feel about it ? Do you love it, hate it? What is the most annoying aspect. Ofc it will vary from school to school as well as which dorm you stay in. I am quite curious about how you guys feel. Even though I prob won't transfer for about 1 yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Eight 6,542 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I didn't live on campus per se, but I lived in student dorms in the city for a year. I hated it. First off 90% of the people were barely out their mothers birth canals and couldn't do a single thing by themselves. They let washing build up, didn't know how to cook, clean, take out a bin, etc. If you gonna dorm, make sure the students contribute to the housework, otherwise you'll end up going crazy like me and throwing all their shit out the window.

Yea I know the feeling. Honestly if I have to live on campus I want a single room or just 1 person.. I do not want 4 useless people who are loud and annoying.

Ddeona Oneul Bame 61,631 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's alright~ I mean I don't live in my home state so I have no choice, really~ I used to live damn near in the woods where my old dorm was, which was pretty annoying with all the new species of bugs I discovered exist~ Plus some goons pulled the fire alarm LITERALLY every other day the last few months living there~ But now I'm in a building again by civilization and it's good!

Bom Diggity 395 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Living on campus has it's ups and downs but I really liked it. My first year at school I went home a lot because I didn't really mesh with my three other roommates, but I began a Resident Assistant (R.A.) so I got my own room and stopped going home so often. But let me tell you some people just can't function without their parents which is kind of sad. I was a R.A. for freshman for two years and some needed to get it together.

I'm home by myself most of time so Im pretty sure I can function w/o them. Only issue might be laundry since I haven't done my own in years.

Cat of The Canals 8,842 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's a cool dorm but it's too expensive However, I'm closer to after school resources so I won't complain. The food here kinda sucks tho so I have to use my own cash instead of my dining money a lot of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oodles 13,187 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Do you love it, hate it? What is the most annoying aspect. Ofc it will vary from school to school as well as which dorm you stay in. It's pretty expensive living in a dorm and the people I got are so trashy but I love them. The hard part was in the beginning I was so scared to poo lol. But I got use to them and I became comfortable with my roommates. Plus I had to learn how to use the laundry, since my parents would wash my clothes for me so that was the sad part. Also you have to be careful when living with people, my friend who use to live in the dorm her roommates took money from her, so don't always trust them...

unemployedblackman 359 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Watch out for your roommate he/she is probably crazy. The ones I lived with were batshit crazy and socially awkward especially the ones from outside the country or foreigners. Most of them were filthy as fuck and nosy. Try to go with someone from your country(USA for me). I tend to have good experiences with them. But try to enforce some rules when you first meet each other like trash/cooking/private masturbation time/food shopping/etc. If you have the option to live alone like I did after living with batshit crazies do it because it's worth the extra money if you can afford it.

I shrunk a lot of clothes on accident, so a tip would be not to leave your clothes in the drying too long lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Hamster Named Loneliness 3,680 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I lived in campus my first year of university (after that we had to go find your own housing off campus). Had two amazing suitemates that later became my friends. The three of us would clean up after ourselves and keep our suite-style dorm nice and clean. I also went through two roommates--the first one was okay, but our personalities clashed and she suffered from anxiety disorder that I didn't know how to deal with (she was only there for one quarter, and then took the rest of the year off). The second roommate that Student Housing assigned me was horrible and a slob and my suitemates and I complained about her numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bom Diggity 395 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 what was it live being an R.A? i'm considered applying for fall semester Short answer: overall it was pretty good and I made some amazing friends. Long answer: I would definitely apply. When I was going in, I was introverted but I wanted to break out of my shell, so that was one reason I did it and it really helped me (idk if you consider yourself an introvert/extrovert but it really helps you grow). I was in a freshman dorm which was different from upper class men. At my university, there was no alcohol aloud and the freshman were not really good at hiding that they were drinking which means a lot of paper work for you which sucked. I learned to not function without sleep because most things that residents needed help with happened at 3am so that was great . Upperclassmen dorms didn't have to deal with a lot of incidents because they are generally more mature or at least better at hiding stuff. It's a great job tho because you get to meet a lot of different people, coworkers, residents, Hall Directors or Advisors, from different backgrounds. Also, if you're creative its good because you get to make bulletin boards, tags on the doors for residents, set up programs and such. If you want any other info or advice feel free to PM me!

alwaysaJYPstan 3,656 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I lived on campus in first year like most people. It was good. The atmosphere will really depend on how sociable you are and the people around you are like. The best part of living on campus is definitely the distance LOL. You can go to class in 5 mins..And everything you ever need (most likely) is on campus so it's really convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campfire 5,083 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I live 'on campus' but really half an hour away and honestly it's a lot better and more fun that living alone or off campus. There's always people around if you need something or if you're just lonely or anything like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJiji04 46 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I actually plan on living off campus cause dorming is pretty expensive lol! But i have another 2-3 semesters until i live with a roommate so yeah hopefully i get good roommates not shitty ones lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconut water 2,135 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I like it. I live with my closest friends in a suite style dorm, which is 2 bedrooms connected by a bathroom. I like the convenience of living on campus especially since the traffic in our area is a literal nightmare. A lot of my off campus friends have a 45 minute drive to campus when, with no traffic, it's only a 15 minute drive. Really the only thing I don't like about living on campus is the meal plan/dining hall, but we plan on living in a dorm with a kitchen next year so it won't be a problem for much longer.

93_L 75 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The only benefits of living in campus are less costly especially when comparing house rent with dorm fees and the fact that campus dorms are closer to the campus/classes. Not fancy the idea of 4 people living together with the noise from other rooms and having to wait to use showers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic Chick 284 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 My on-campus housing has two types. One literally looks and feels like a prison barrack. The other one looks like a hotel. Unfortunately, I lived in the prison barracks for a year, before slowly losing my sanity, and leaving to live off-campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepeaches 257 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 the good thing is that ofc you're near your classes. the bad thing is that in my uni the dorms here have limitations like curfews which extremely sucks and they dont get to renovate the dorms here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
