live in dorm or apartment

<p>i just want to know people want to live in the dorm on the campus or rent a apartment outside the school? and the reason to do it. plz</p>

<p>Some schools require that freshmen live on campus in dorms for at least their first year. Even without the requirement, usually most freshmen live in the dorms, in part because of the large social component. After that, the number of students living in dorms vs. living in off-campus apartments varies widely by school and location.</p>
