<p>What are the pros of living in an apartment versus the dorm?</p>
<p>Pros of living in an apartment:
More space
Private bathroom
cheaper
better utilities
No dorm food
You pick your roommates.
No lame rules about smoking cigarettes, etc.</p>
<p>Pros of dorm:
There are pros?
Maybe you socialize more but you can do that if you live in an apartment anyway.
Someone cleans your bathroom for you. </p>
<p>I think it's nuts when people recommend living in the dorms. It's overrated and overpriced.
hands down, apartment living is better.</p>
<p>the obvious: cheaper
the cons: you have to walk to campus, you have to buy a separate meal plan?, the apartment may not be as safe, the apartment may not be well maintained.</p>
