i would go w/ off-campus housing that's as close as possible to the campus... much cheaper + no restrictions ftw

edit: maybe not if your housing is $2k... mine + meal plan is ~9ish i think, so i am definitely getting an apartment

This year I'll be a freshman in college. For the first semester, I'm lined up to stay with my parents. That way, I can help take my sister home from school until she gets her license. I'll have a job after class. Many people have told me that part of the college experience is living away from home, and now I really want to. What should I do? On campus? Apartment with a friend? Throw me some tips to this if you have any...I'm open to suggestions...

ON campus... DEFINITLY

2000+ a semester? That's cheap.

When I first started college in 99 mine was at around 1100 a semester, I think its at around 1800 now.

and now where I go, dorms+basic meal plan = 8000...go figure

No kidding :roll: For me:

One calender year in dorms + Two semesters of unlimited meal plan = ~$7500

Live on campus. My greatest times in college were raising hell on our campus!
