<p>Anyway, recently, I was told that there is an opening in the University Owned Apartments, only 3 blocks away from the rest of campus, and since I have enough credits I can move in. I went on a tour today and the room is really nice. It's small, but I figure most apartments are. I like the idea of privacy and I will hopefully be able to talk to my roommate before I commit to moving in there. </p>
<p>I just wanted to know if any of you had any suggestions or anything on whether or not moving in to an apartment would be good or bad. I just want to get college going the way it's supposed to be--that will probably make more sense if you read my last post.</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate anyone who will take the time to help me. :)</p>
<p>I guess my other option would be waiting until a new dorm room opens up and I don’t when that will be and I could move into the apartment within 2 weeks or so. So, I am not really sure what to do.</p>
<p>I live in university-owned apartments, although I am a graduate student. The majority of residents are graduate students, non-traditional older undergraduates, and faculty members. From your other post, it seems like you are the perfect tenant - you’re quiet, you keep to yourself, and you just want to study and focus on your grades. We don’t want anyone who is going to through rollicking parties, and we ourselves tend to have families and don’t want that whole party scene so you won’t have to listen to drunk people yelling and throwing up. I lived in a residence hall last year because I work in residence life, and…jeez.</p>
<p>I will say that since you are already not a very sociable person, living in university-owned apartment housing not with the other undergrads your age may separate you a little from what’s going on and make it harder for you to make friends. If you do want to make friends, you’re going to have to be a little more outgoing and meet them either in class or in extracurriculars that you do.</p>
<p>Personally, though, I’d take the apartment and then see if you can get a better dorm assignment (maybe a single?) next year.</p>
<p>Wow. Thanks both you guys. That actually helped a lot. That made it easier to make a decision. </p>
<p>Julliet: Yeah. That was one other thing I was kind of considering. It makes more sense to me now that someone else wrote it down. Hah. Thanks a bunch. :)</p>
<p>I do have a new question though. I got my roommate information today, we talked. The one that strikes me as off is the fact that he is 35. That’s almost double my age. I think it may be awkward, but I don’t know. He seems like a fine roommate and all. I just don’t know how this will go. </p>
