1. Meal plans!
They are available to all students living on campus. Could you imagine being a commuter student who can't eat any time in-between classes unless they are paying with cash?! I'd rather not.
2. Getting Involved.
It's so important that you get involved while you are in college. Your social life would dramatically increase because of this. You could join organizations and get in leadership positions because you're in a close and convenient radius when it's time to meet up with your org.
3. One word: Library.
During midterms and final exams I am sure you do not want to be surrounded by your loud younger siblings, or your roommate. Libraries on campuses understand that we need all the time in the world to stay up and study before these final exams, so they allow extended hours. Living on Campus means that you will be able to stay as late as you please without worrying about getting home too late.
4. Parties!
Yes, its true! College parties may be some of the most exciting events to happen in your youth. Just in case you need quick outfit advice, walk on over to your good friend's dorm and ask him/her for their opinion--after you try them on of course! And if you have too much fun at the party, your friend's can walk with you to your dorm. Friends should always have your back.
5. Freedom.
Wait, I don't think you read that with emphasis. F R E E D O M ! Now, on some campuses there may be slightly different rules for freshmen, but if you're an upperclassman the world is yours-- kind of... in a I can stay out how late I want without my parents yelling or giving me a curfew type of way.
You know how adults always say " being in college were some of my best years" believe them, and they probably lived on campus to have those memories. Although it may be more expensive; living on your campus can truly make your college experience the best.
