Living on-campus offers a unique opportunity to be part of a close-knit community within your college, with easy access to university facilities and a calendar of social and academic events.Trust me, this is something I can vouch for and I completely feel campus life within the university would be much more enriching.In contrast, staying off-campus may provide more independence and potentially at a lower cost of living. Ultimately, your decision should consider factors like social experience, convenience, and any personal preferences.
