Would this be a bad move?

College Life

<p>I'm transferring colleges in the fall. One of my friends already goes to this new school and another one is tranferring there as well. Since we began talking about transferring, the kid who goes to the school and a few of his friends at the school expressed interest in getting a house off campus and told my friend that if we do transfer we should live in the house with them (they met me and the other kid transferring when we each individually visted the friend who goes to the school). The kids who go to the school found a house and saved two spots in it (one for each of us transferring), and even though there were times I expressed that I would be all for moving in with them second semester I kind of wanted to live on campus for the first semester to meet people (I love networking, and I figure it would be a good way to meet girls). Would it be a bad move if I decide to live on campus even though they have a spot reserved for me?</p>

<p>This is totally up to you. Personally, I would much prefer living in a house with people that I knew than living in dorms with complete strangers. Your eagerness to network with others would sway toward living on campus, so it depends on what you want as an individual. I would tell your friends your decision ASAP though incase they need to find someone else to take your spot.</p>

<p>Having a house opens up the possibility of throwing house parties, which will certainly help you meet persons of both genders.</p>

<p>I agree with James, and would like to emphasize that you need to let them know ASAP so that they can find someone to take your place first semester, if necessary. Also, if someone <em>does</em> take your place, you might not be able to move in with them second semester…</p>

<p>I’d go with the house, just make sure you let them know if you’re not right away.</p>

<p>I’d live in the house because you’re guaranteed to be living with people you’re friendly with and it’s not like they’re not friends with other people so you’ll definitely make more friends and girls if you go to parties.</p>
