<p>First of all here is my financial package:</p>

<p>Please help me decide what will be the best choice for my financial package
So i found this place in Davis with 2 bedroom, If i share with my friends ill pay about 600/month. im still deciding on whether i should stay in dorm (Cuarto) or apartment. this is what my pro and con:</p>

<p>Dorm:</p>

<p>pro:
.Dont have to cook
.Food already include in the meal plan purchase.
.no need to shopping each week for groceries</p>

<p>Con: i have to share room with someone else</p>

<p>Apartment:</p>

<p>pro:
.have my own room</p>

<p>con:
.have to buy food and cook
.the rent doesn't include food yet so i have to add about 300 per months for foods
.cooking take time.</p>

<p>One last question: for the housing estimate, do we get more money if we live on-campus?</p>

<p>Honestly so much of this comes down to personal preference. One thing to keep in mind is living off campus doesn’t lend itself to making friends as easily. </p>

<p>I did call Finacial aid, we will get more money if we live on campus, so I don’t think it actually ends up costing us anymore…</p>

<p>On a side note, you should join the UCD class of 2013 facebook page, lots of lively discussion going on there.</p>
