<p>The cost depends on the college. Check the college website or collegeboard.com.</p>
<p>I think this may also vary, but it’s generally something trivial, such as a dollar or two per load.</p>
<p>You can get food from your university’s cafeteria, or you can buy your own and cook yourself. The university cafeteria information is on its website somewhere.</p>
<p>Living away from your parents has its advantages and disadvantages. It doesn’t seem to be a problem for most students.</p>
<p>All dorms usually have various electrical outlets, though you may want to bring an adapter so you can plug in more things. Some universities prohibit power-hungry items like refrigerators and microwaves. Bathrooms (with sinks, showers, and toilets) vary greatly, even within a university. Sometimes there are many students who share a common bathroom at the end of a hallway. Other times the rooms are set up for suites of four people with a common bathroom. Again, this information can be found on the university website.</p>
