The four years of college are arguably the best times and most memorable times many of us will have in our lives. After all, campus life is incredibly exciting. But beyond your major, there are lots of decisions to be made — one of the biggest of which is whether or not to live in the dorms.
“Like most things in the college process, when trying to decide if it’s better to live on or off campus, the answer is it depends," says founder of College, Career & Life and educational consultant Reena Gold Kamins, MA, CEP. "The answer truly comes down to individual students' budgets and personal preferences. It’s easier to get to know your peers and feel comfortable collaborating with them, if you’re spending time together outside the classroom. It’s been this way for as long as anyone can remember.”
