i’ve signed up for Ragans for Fall/Spring. i also have an option to live with someone in a 1200sq ft apt.

here’s the issue,
i want to meet people and make friends and Ragans has multiple roommates for this opportunity.
one is only in college for a certain amount of time and i want to make the best of these years.
it’s less privacy and have to be more restricted, but i’d be able to potentially expand socially and it’s on campus.
i’ve been told by some that their best friends in life were their dorm roommates.
this would be $7240 for both semesters.

or

i could live with a friend in a quieter place and pay 400/mo for 12 months.
this would be $4800 for 12 months. could be used for three semesters, fall, spring, and summer.
also it would be more private if i wanted to “bring someone over”

so i cannot decide between the more private & cheaper apartment, or the social, on-campus way.
also, i don’t know how big or nice Ragans is. it’s the three bedroom version.

I’ve had several friends live in Ragans before and many of them only really became friends with 1 or 2 of their 3 roommates.

Keep in mind, college is what you make of it. You are ultimately going to be the one that has to go out and meet new people, by going to events, joining clubs, etc. It doesn’t just happen based off where you live.

Go with whats cheaper. Friends are cool. But you can make friends regardless of where you live. College is expensive no matter what.
