WHICH HOUSING IS RIGHT FOR YOU? DORMS APARTMENTS A DORM may be right for you if: A DORM may not be right for you if: An APARTMENT may be right for you if: An APARTMENT may not be right for you if: You are looking for a built-in social life. It s very easy to meet other students who share your interests. You can almost always find a friend to go out to eat with, study with, go to the gym with, etc. You like to take part in planned social activities. Dorm-sponsored events provide entertainment and create a feeling of family. You want a low-stress, all-inclusive living arrangement. Living in a dorm and having a meal plan means there s no need to worry about monthly rent payments, utilities bills, or trips to the grocery store. You re looking for a sense of support and security. Resident Assistants are always on hand to help, and 24/7 security offers peace of mind. You don t have a car and would appreciate the convenience of a shuttle to campus and nearby public transportation. You value your privacy and feel uncomfortable sharing your living space (and your bathroom) with a lot of other people. You desire an undisturbed, quiet place to study without having to go to the library. You like to cook. Keep in mind that not even small appliances are allowed in dorms. You re looking for a large space where you can spread out and bring all your furniture and personal items from home. Privacy is important to you. You will likely have your own bedroom in an apartment and share your bathroom and common areas with only a few people. You often decide who those other people are. You want the freedom of cooking whatever you want, whenever you want, in your own kitchen. You re looking for a larger space, which you can fill with whatever you d like, and the ability to study quietly without leaving home. You re not interested in having adults around to supervise you or plan activities for you. You don t know anyone in town yet or feel nervous about making friends. The seclusion of apartment living means you may have to make more of an effort to create your social circle. You want to be surrounded by a lot of other students. Your neighbors could include families with small children, older adults, and just about anyone. You don t like to cook or clean up after yourself. You don t want the responsibility of monthly bills like rent, utilities, cable, Internet, etc. You don t have a car and are concerned about transportation to/ from campus and around town. You don t have your own furniture and don t want the added expenses of furnishing your space. 22 23
