A lot of students face this question each year regardless if
you’re a freshmen or senior going to college.
I'm going to talk about the pros and cons from my opinion.

2) Reduced car expenses if you own a car
3) Everything is included in your price (examples like wifi
and utilities)

at hand

1) Usually more expensive
2)have to share a room and use a community bathroom
3)Usually need a meal plan

5)Might not be able to live there during breaks
