<p>I was wondering if current students would answer my question, do you guys stay on campus housing for 4years or go rent apartments after the first year? I got my financial aid</p>

<p>So I would have to get around 10k in loans for the first year, why does housing have to be so expensive :( I don't want to be saddled with so much loans for college(like my older sisters) so I was wondering if there is any other alternative instead of dorms. Also what is the EOP program?</p>
<p>I am so confused on what to do and would greatly appreciate your help, thanks!</p>
