<p>Hi I'm going to be a freshmen at San Jose State University and its required to live on campus the first year. I have to pick between a traditional dorm and a suite. The suite has four bedrooms (two ppl per room) two bathrooms and a kitchen area. The dorm, well is a dorm. one roommate, commuter showers and all that. I know the suite seems nicer, but i'm paying for college on my own and the dorms are cheaper. I'm taking out loans and its only for a year so maybe it doesn't matter? I also hear the dorms have more of a social life which I want, but I also want space. idk which is better for me. Any suggestions or anyone out there that has experience with living in the dorms or suites?</p>
