<p>@chainiwatmj, I really recommend living oncampus at least for your first year. Living in the dorms really does create a bond that nothing else really does, and it’s hugely convenient for a freshman just getting oriented. I personally wish I’d moved offcampus for my second year, mostly because living in an oncampus apartment in ERC works out to be a lot more expensive for me than it will be to live in an offcampus apartment next year with two roommates, but you can decide which one you like better after you’ve lived oncampus for a year.</p>
