<p>I can't wait until next year when I can move to an apartment.</p>
<p>No duh hence the reason why only freshmen usually live in them and everyone else lives off campus after the first year.</p>
<p>The people who hype up dorms so much and tell you it is essential for your first yr are those who hated and want you to feel the pain.</p>
<p>What are you guys talking about? I guess it depends on what college you go to.</p>
<p>Here, most people try and live in the dorms all 4 years. I know I love dorm life.</p>
<p>Ditto here- most people stay on all 4 years who can (housing is not guaranteed after sophomore year). And our dorms suck. :P</p>
<p>they do suck. the only reason im still living in one is because its an apartment style suite.</p>
<p>Dorm life= awesome!!!</p>
<p>But yea, it probably gets old after a year or two.</p>
<p>Here alot of people never live in the dorms, even as freshmen. The great large majority of students live off-campus. Personally I lived in the dorms for two years and it was fine, not horrible but not great either. By the end of the second year, I was like, "yeah okay, I'm ready to live somewhere else now" though. I really like my apartment I am in now.</p>
<p>honestly, if it wasn't such a rip off, and there weren't RA's to monitor my activities in the room i pay for, i'd want to stay in the dorms.</p>
<p>i've been in a dorm all 4 years... though the last 2 I've essentially been in an apartment, it's just owned by the school and you go about getting one the same way as any other room.</p>
<p>correction.</p>
<p>dorm FOOD sucks.</p>
<p>hah its only been a month and im already sick of it. i want some good homecooked food</p>
<p>I always hated the fact that RAs would knock on your door 5 nights a week and invite you to come to the "floor party" or study session or game night or something.....</p>
<p>Uh, no. I'm busy right now as you can see, and I have my own life and own friends I will be out with later tonight. </p>
<p>So yes I hated the dorms and love my apartment. I may have to walk farther to campus and buy my own food, but I have my own bedroom, privacy, and pets. Dorm life sucks for those who like privacy and quiet</p>
<p>I like my dorm, but I really do like my quiet. I spend most of my non-class time in the library. I'm moving into an apartment next year.</p>
<p>see for me, apt. living drives me kinda crazy. i hate cooking for myself, buying my own food and etc. i DONT like quiet, i need constant noise, distractions and motion or else i go insane. i can't wait to move into a frat house.</p>
<p>you know what really sucks- not having a dorm or apartment</p>
<p>and being a commuter</p>
<p>at most colleges</p>
<p>commuters have no souls</p>
<p>FYI RAs are always trying to bring you out because they're required to</p>
<p>The thing about commuters is so true, my neighbor commutes and he always looks dreary, plus he plays WoW alot so I guess that probably contributed to his condition as well.</p>

Dorms suck

</p>
<p>Agreed. That's why I commute. I remember reading an interesting newspaper article that asserted that dorms were a blast! -- until the third or fourth week, when the reality of not being home and dealing with a roommate all the time starts to set in, then the regrets start...</p>

<p>Oh puh-leez. If by "soul" you mean the time to stay at school and get drunk and get into trouble all the time then yes, we commuters have no "souls".</p>

<p>Well, I myself might start to look "dreary" when I have to stay at school longer than I usually do, and I'd guess that'd be the same for most commuters, I certainly don't relish the thought of staying up here all day, but sometimes I have to, because of meetings, stuff to do, etc etc. It can't be helped.</p>
<p>And you said he played WoW a lot, if you play any MMO excessively you'll start to exhibit those same symptoms, residential or commuter student.</p>
<p>My dorm is awesome.</p>

<p>hey do suck. the only reason im still living in one is because its an apartment style suite.</p>
