As I’ve stated in my lastet post I haven’t really made that many friends in college. Everyone is already signing leases with friends for next semester and I haven’t really found people to room with. Should I just get an apartment with random people (my own room and bathroom) or should I get a dorm suite with random people (I’d share a dorm room and bathroom with one person and then we would have a kitchen, living room and 2 other roommates.) it’s about the same price all together but I was wonder what would be the best option?
Dorms: Dorms have RAs so if there are disputes you have someone to referee. You would have to share a room. Dorms are probably only for 9 months of the year. May be easier to switch if there was some kind of horrible roommate. May be closer to campus.
Apartments: Less support if there are issues. Your own room. May be for 12 month lease. Cool if you are staying over the summer but may not be cool if you won’t be there. Might be farther away. Have to chip in more for utilities possibly.
